Business Analyst
San Francisco Bay Area
I am an independent consultant who helps companies plan content, manage operations, and organize information. I also chip in with writing and editing from time to time, which I still love.
I have more than 20 years of experience at newspapers, blogs, ad agencies, book publishers, marketing departments, and database programmers.
MANAGEMENT: workflows, technology research, roles and responsibilities, documentation, training. ORGANIZATION: information architecture, wireframes, templates. WRITING: blog posts, proposals, boilerplate, requirements specifications, style guides; special knack for translating technical subjects into plain English for general audiences. EDITING: Chicago, AP, AMA; both fast and accurate.
