I write for the Web, DVDs, CD-ROMs, kiosks, and other computer-based platforms, as well as traditional videos and print. My specialty is instructional design and technical writing for e-Learning. I also write and edit standard operating procedures, instruction manuals, assessments, job aids, product summaries, and other informational and marketing materials. In addition, I develop and deliver stand-up training.
All topics welcome! Here's a sampling of subjects I've written about: airline gate management, communication skills, customer relationship management, economics, electrical systems, environmental education, financial advising, food products, heart failure, history, insurance products, manufacturing, medical devices, pipeline maintenance and repair, science, social studies, software (accounting, benefits enrollment, human resources, recruitment, etc.), VoIP, and weed control.
