Both my non-fiction and technical writing have informed my creative writing by offering daily exercise in the craft. Through these practices, I maintain and develop clear and concise language, a sharpened editor’s eye, and regular experience in working with editors/critique of my work.

Technical Writing

I am a technical and marketing writer for a Fortune 200 company and have developed and managed proposals for on-time delivery to government clients representing multi-million dollar projects. For each project, I collaborate with a large team consisting of business and marketing personnel across various lines of business, technical and solution subject matter experts, writers, graphic artists, and production coordinators to produce compliant, creative, and interesting documents. As this proposal work is deadline-driven, I have developed strong skills to work well under pressure while coordinating with large groups of people.
