I think all people are born with a knack; a skill or talent that comes naturally. Mine is communication and organization. English, reading, and writing have always been subjects I enjoy, and I gain great satisfaction from creating documents that successfully convey the intended message.
But I also like taking things apart and putting them back together. Seeing how they work. Fixing broken things. So how did I combine these seemingly disparate interests? Technical writing!
I loved documenting the lab work when I was in college and then I started my technical career as a test engineer. As a test engineer, I learned a lot of really interesting things (well, interesting to a geek) about manufacturing, engineering, and test. Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to work in many industries and have learned a lot more geeky stuff!
I consider technical writing to be the process of translating and organizing geek-speak into English.
Let me help you with your communication needs!
