Experienced Technical Communications Manager with a focus on education.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Technical Communications Manager and Adjunct Instructor with a strong background in technical writing and curriculum development. With over 18 years of experience, I have honed my skills in managing global teams, developing content, and implementing strategic plans that align with organizational goals. My academic background includes a Master's degree in Technical Communications from the University of Central Florida, where I also teach courses in English and technical writing.
In my current role at RQI Partners, I lead a global team of technical writers, ensuring that we deliver high-quality content that meets the needs of our clients. I have successfully developed and documented processes for crisis communications and have leveraged tools like Salesforce CRM to enhance our documentation workflows. My previous experience as a Senior Technical Writer and Team Lead at CAE Inc. allowed me to refine my project management skills and develop a keen eye for detail, ensuring that all content adheres to industry standards and best practices.
