Especially good at simplifying technical material without losing accuracy, I find adjusting to each organization's style guides and audience a fascinating editorial challenge.
My writing is tailored for my target audience, be that scientists, corporate executives, park visitors or toddlers.
I have edited corporate compliance policies and plans, training materials on geology and wildlife, and a thesis on arctic archeology. I am familiar with style manuals, style sheets, electronic revisions and classic copyediting and proofreading symbols.
A few examples of writing projects I have completed:
- Access Control Guidelines and Procedures for a major telecommunications company
- Analysis of 2300 access control attendant incident reports
- Summaries of the geological history of two state parks
- Report on noxious weeds for a state park
- Field study and report on the vascular plants of a state park
- Monthly newsletter column on wildlife
- Comparisons between corporate compliance plans
- Report and seminar on scavengers for crime scene investigators
- Analysis of heavy minerals from oil wells in the Gulf of Alaska
- Puppet show for preschool visitors to a state park
- Short fictional stories
- Illustrated talk on colored gemstones
- Classes and programs on animal sign recognition
- Press kit for a nonprofit organization
- Presentations on animal scavenging and its relationship to homicide investigation
