Candidate Summary
I am currently a technical writer and editor for Yulista Aviation, a US defense contractor. I specialize in instructional documents dealing with the modification, repair, and installation of mechanical and electrical equipment on aircraft for the US military. My skills and knowledge are not limited to a single industry nor a single way of thinking as my value lies in the researching, processing, and communicating technical and difficult information in a way easily understood by others. Quickly zeroing in on the premises of an idea and finding the most logical path to conceptual understanding is where my employers have been able to capitalize on my talents.
I have a high technical aptitude, a deep understanding of systems, structures, and organizational tools, as well as an intuitive grasp of oral and written communication backed up by considerable education and experience managing people and processes. I am confident, capable, and dedicated to producing quality project outcomes. Active Security Clearance: Secret
