Analytical and detail-oriented Technical Writer with more than 6 years of experience in presenting technical details into comprehensible and reusable user-specific documentation. With a strong background in writing and editing, I am looking forward to having a mutually rewarding experience as a contributing technical writer, in an independent role or in a team environment. Currently, I am pursuing Master of Arts program in Technical Communication

(MATC) at the Department of English, Texas Tech University. I am expecting to graduate in May 2018.
