What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that utilizes my technical writing and leadership skills

As a seasoned technical writer, I have a proven track record of producing and editing a wide range of technical documents and illustrations. My expertise spans best practices guidelines, process flowcharts, manuals, international compliance documentation, and more. With a strong background in English and technical writing, I have honed my skills in creating high-quality content for various industries, including medical and scholarly papers, training presentations, and website content.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to lead teams and manage technical writing projects, ensuring timely and accurate delivery of documents. My experience as an internal auditor has also given me a unique understanding of quality manufacturing processes and data integrity. I am well-versed in using various tools, including Scrum boards, InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop, to create visually appealing and informative content.

In addition to my technical skills, I possess excellent communication and public speaking skills, which have been essential in my roles as a technical writer and team lead. I am committed to staying up-to-date with industry trends and best practices, and I am excited to bring my expertise to a new challenge.
