Senior Technical Editor with a decade of award-ready, compliant technical content.
What I'm looking for
I’m an ICAP Agile Certified Senior Technical Editor with over a decade of success in technical editing, content development, publishing, and project management. I lead creation, editing, and delivery processes that improve compliance, clarity, and quality across high-stakes publications.
Most recently, I’ve been leading editorial and production workflows for high-profile technical Air Force documents as a contractor, managing cross-functional teams through planning, creation, editing, and delivery stages. Before that, I served as a Proofreading Editor / QA Assessment Writer and Editor at Accenture Learning, where I wrote and edited assessment content focused on clarity, consistency, and compliance with brand standards.
My background spans education, legal, environmental, and marketing—covering legal and academic editing, instructional content development, QA, and publishing workflow. I bring deep editorial rigor plus hands-on production skills in Adobe InDesign/InCopy, along with content strategy, cross-functional collaboration, and continuous quality assurance.
