Years experience:17 Career profile:I have been writing and producing technical documentation since 1993, when I supplemented a business degree with the Print Futures Professional Writing Program at Douglas College. I recently completed an MA in transpersonal psychology at Naropa University. I enjoy making complex procedures and concepts easy to perform and understand. Finding the kernel that unlocks my own understanding so that I may communicate it to others is one of the joys of technical writing. I view the role of a technical writer as building bridges between people and technology. I have been working as an independent contractor and consultant since 1995, and appreciate the opportunities this mode of business affords for working with different groups of people and learning new procedures, products, and technologies. Following two years of working in-house for Computer Associates, my clients have included Coast Capital Savings, Rockwell Automation, Rockwell Software, Dynapro Systems Inc., Chancery Software, Xinex Networks, Edge Training and Consulting, and Wordsmiths International. I have written and produced many types of documentation, including: User and system administration manuals * online help * web tutorials * training and quick reference materials * policy and procedures * white papers * newsletters * press releases * proposals * other marketing materials Always working as a member of the team, my role has varied. I have worked as project manager and documentation team lead, hiring and supervising others when necessary. I have also worked closely with development teams to help design graphical user interfaces and test usability. A brief stint in technical support really helped me see things from the point of view of the end user, and this perspective is something I bring to every documentation project.
