Karen Rutherford’s Summary

I have worked on corporate and technical writing projects since 1991. My experience in various industries provides me with a versatility that a lot of other technical writers don't have.

Over the years, I have developed corporate and adult education training materials, process documentation, application user manuals, operations manuals, FDA submission documentation for pre-market medical devices and drugs, online help, web content, computer systems validation packages, and internal procedures to the standard required for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.

A lot of my career has been spent serving in small and large-scale Business Analysis and Developer roles conducting technical and business research and providing written communication related to systems development (user requirements, system design, testing and training).

This technical foundation gives me an advantage on documentation projects: the ability to quickly identify and understand usable information and communicate it clearly to the audience.
