What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my technical writing, multilingual documentation, training, and product-support experience to complex technical products and systems.

I've updated military and civilian aviation documentation and illustrated parts catalogues at General Atomics Europe, following technical writing and training work at FormFactor GmbH.

At FARO 3D Software, I created and edited English and German user manuals and quick guides for six products using Adobe FrameMaker and MadCap Flare XML. I also managed quality for translated products across French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, and Japanese, supported developers in English, and beta-tested products.

Earlier at GLOBALFOUNDRIES, I maintained user and administrator documentation, developed training materials, created architectural diagrams in Enterprise Architect, and led documentation reviews and software needs assessments. My background also includes translation, tutoring, GIS mapping, purchasing, technical drawing, and military administrative and digital systems repair work.
