Business Analyst - Technical Writer/Editor

Expertise: Writing / Editing for Reader Understanding and Quality Written

Products

I enjoy creating a story that appeals to prospective readers. As principal

author, as reviewer and as editor, I have extensive experience in creating

technical proposals/documents, presenting technical material, and leading

proposal/project teams in development of technical documents. I have

always been able to put myself in the reader's shoes and write to achieve

reader understanding. My broad knowledge areas allow me to rapidly

understand team products and know how to translate a product into a

document easily understood by non-subject matter experts (non-SMEs).

Associates describe me as a totally focused leader and team player, a

strategic and tactical thinker, and one who considers multiple viewpoints

to create integrated, quality business products. I have held a Top Secret

clearance.

edits required."
