ABOUT ME


 

 

 

 

 

My love for the written word began at a young age. I enjoyed lazy summer afternoons and quiet evenings lost in a good book. I took advantage of every opportunity to go to the school or local library to check out as many books as I could carry. Over time, I developed my writing skills that evolved into technical writing. My first technical writing job was for a medical device company where I worked closely with engineering, research and development, and marketing teams writing their process instructions, marketing material, and instruction manuals. As my career developed, I saw the need to edit material required for FDA submissions, product inserts (instructions for use), patient leaflet instructions, clinical reports, and other patient/physician content.

 

Today, I have grown my editing and technical writing services to assist self-publishing book authors (fiction and non-fiction), students, engineers and everyone in-between. I am passionate about helping people communicate their ideas effectively and clearly. I believe that everyone has a story to tell or a product to sell, and I am here to assist you to achieve your goals. Let’s work together to create something great!
