What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role where I can lead documentation efforts, improve compliance and accessibility, streamline review cycles, and mentor teams while working on SOPs, policies, and training materials.

I am a technical editor and writer with extensive experience producing and improving SOPs, policies, and technical documentation for government and private-sector clients. I have led document life-cycle management for hundreds of documents, modernized templates, and improved accessibility and compliance with ISO and Section 508 standards.

My work has reduced review delays, increased on-time publication rates, and improved document quality through close collaboration with subject-matter experts and cross-functional teams. I have practical experience with SharePoint document libraries, Microsoft Word template modernization, and converting expired training materials into engaging PowerPoint decks.

I bring a background in content development, Adobe Creative Suite, and document-management tools, and I seek roles where I can streamline documentation processes, improve accessibility, and mentor teams to sustain high-quality documentation practices.
