Technical Writer and Project Manager based in Portland, OR, USA
Hello!
I’m an experienced technical writer, project manager and professional leader with over 15 years of experience working within the energy efficiency, sustainable construction and copywriting fields. I’ve created detailed documentation for processes and procedures, code compliance reports, proposal marketing materials, product descriptions, and troubleshooting strategies. Additionally, I’ve provided copywriting and editing services for various publications. I’ve also led team members from the initial stages of a project through to completion, streamlined communication between various stakeholders inside and outside of organizations, maintained collaborative client relationships, and routinely delivered highly detailed reports with various data points and narratives.
I’m a Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) from the Project Management Institute (PMI) and have earned the Technical Writing Certificate from Oregon State University’s continuing education program.
The objective of a technical writer is to create clear and concise documentation for complex processes and procedures. The skills of a Project Manager include effective communication, active listening, planning and organization. Blending these disciplines is my goal. I enjoy working with SMEs to gather, organize and streamline complex information into easily digestible content that is accessible to various types of stakeholders. I thrive in leading and directing a project from beginning to end. I hope to work in a professional environment that combines my love of writing with my background in project management.
