@la-junepersephony
I refine technical content, proposals, training, and communications for public and private-sector clients.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've built a career refining technical content, proposals, training materials, and communications for private companies and federal government agencies.
At Pivoting Perspectives, I provide developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading that strengthen clarity, coherence, impact, storytelling, structure, and tone. I also coach aspiring writers through mentoring and workshops.
At Ventera Corporation, I supported a USDA assignment by developing RFP responses, business process and Operations & Maintenance documents, and state-agency communications. I helped revise proposals across three projects and introduced a more efficient data-gathering process.
Previously, I managed a three-writer publication team at Virginia Oaks HOA and led software developers, a technical writer, and a tester at ManTech International. I connect stakeholders, document requirements, improve customer self-service, and deliver polished materials that meet client needs.
