For over 10 years, I have collaborated with engineers, entrepreneurs, executives, and attorneys to communicate legal, technical, and marketing information effectively. In the School of Engineering at Stanford University, I taught doctoral students how to write and defend dissertations and technical papers. In the software and aerospace industries, I wrote reports, training material, winning proposals, and patents for NASA, Hewlett-Packard, Maxim Integrated Products, Lockheed Martin, AltaVista, ORACLE, and Align Technology. I hold a B.S. in Information Systems Management from the University of San Francisco and a Certificate in Software Technical Writing from Northeastern University. As contract technical writer-editor-educator, I welcome opportunities to serve entrepreneurs, executives, engineers, and attorneys to write clear, concise, and coherent technical, legal or business documents.
