SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITY

Managing Corporate Communications : I have managed all phases of the corporate communications and publication processes. In addition to writing, editing, illustration and photo work, my responsibilities have ranged from team organization for proposal and documentation projects, hiring and managing of printing and publishing contractors and the in-house production of documentation disks.

Administration and Supervision : Before becoming a technical writer, I worked as a counselor and grant writer .I was appointed Director of a public agency for which I had written the grant. As Program Director, I gained experience in project administration, hiring, training and supervision.

We find publishers for all of your articles. Statement made by Mark Shapiro of Davis Marrin Communications, for which I have written more than 30 PR articles.
2 of my product illustrations are used on the covers of manuals.
