Summary

I am a prolific writer with over *** scientific publications

including three books and many technical reports. Publications list

available on request. I have a long history working well on teams (multi-

author publications) as well as overseeing the communications training of

up to 11 staff members of a small research and development company from

1999 to 2010. I was responsible for the final content of scientific

papers, reports to DOD requirements, brochures, business plans, and

promotional materials and in the preparation of all presentation materials

including oversight (but not programming of) over three websites. My

writing involved considerable editing and rewriting for different formats

and audiences. I am a self-starter who can liaise with scientists and

professionals from a wide range of disciplines and work to schedules

determined by others in order to achieve defined objectives.

government, and military-related activities and in conforming to government

contracting regulations and requirements. Writing was a particular feature

of all of my places of employment.

broad understanding of both science and non-scientific research using a

variety of sources and am used to living on a steep learning curve. I use

a variety of word processors and MS Office, Illustrator, Photoshop, and

Acrobat for published figures,

Presently seeking part time employment in writing/editing that will

allow me to apply my expertise and experience and to bring added value to a
