Maryland Sara’s Summary

My work experiences for software companies have instilled in me great discipline and creativity. I wrote software and hardware user manuals, created software product presentations, and developed style guides for technical writing. My present job trained me to pay close attention to details and to deliver high quality documents even under pressure. This job involves documentation of user guides and help files for open source applications and Web-based applications, proofreading of Website content and product-related articles, and software testing of Web-based applications. I am also a supporter of the open source community and have contributed documentation patches to the community.
