Substantive and sentence-level editing that improves clarity without damaging technical meaning.
Clear, usable content for complicated work.
I turn technical, specialized, and fast-changing subject matter into documentation people can understand and use. My work spans substantive editing, industrial manuals, software documentation, style guides, job aids, training materials, and business-facing white papers.
Editorial judgment, technical range, and respect for the reader
Available for contract technical writing, technical editing, copyediting, content cleanup, documentation standards, and document modernization.
Task-focused instructions, job aids, and quick-start content built around what users need to accomplish.
Style guides, standards, terminology, and structures that keep large content sets consistent.
Experience across engineering, industrial equipment, enterprise software, learning technology, and AI.
Four samples, four kinds of proof
Each sample is paired with context about the work and the capability it demonstrates.
Engineering proposal edit
A substantive edit of a Small Business Innovation Research proposal involving precision instrumentation and material testing. The marked-up file shows terminology and acronym management, consistency checks, sentence-level editing, formatting recommendations, and structural guidance.
Demonstrates
Visible editorial judgment and comfort with highly technical engineering content.
Substantive Article Editing
A collaborative substantive edit of a learning-strategy article by Brandon Carson, author of Learning in the Age of Immediacy. My visible comments diagnose structural and argument gaps, recommend new sections and headings, strengthen the conclusion, and identify where supporting research would improve the piece.
Demonstrates
Editorial judgment, respectful author feedback, structural editing, argument development, and research guidance.
Training Style Guide & eLearning Guidelines
A coordinated standards system for improving consistency across instructor-led, virtual, and eLearning materials.
Demonstrates
Editorial governance, standards development, and documentation systems thinking.
Oracle HCM & Learning Documentation
Three complementary documentation samples from separate Oracle projects: a software quick-start guide and two point-of-need resources supporting talent-management and learning workflows.
Demonstrates
Task analysis, enterprise software documentation, procedural writing, performance support, and visual guidance.

My broader archive includes online help, eLearning guidelines, SAP exercises and job aids, training workbooks, facilitator and participant guides, and additional manual excerpts. I can share the most relevant material for the project rather than sending an undifferentiated folder.
