Having recently retired as communications officer, technical editor, and web content provider for the US EPA, I want to pursue my passion for writing and editing. I have ten years’ experience in creating original content on a wide range of topics. I’m a dedicated professional committed to high quality, accuracy, and timeliness. I consistently meet commitments. Every project is important, and I will go the extra mile to be sure my customer is 110% satisfied. Was a plain language editor for the federal government, re-writing a Department of Defense training manual, a National Park Service budgeting manual, a US Department of Agriculture meat-handling regulation, among many others. Conducted training in plain language and writing for the web for EPA’s web community and staff of EPA’s water programs. Was my office’s Web Content Coordinator responsible for reviewing and approving new web content and providing consultant services for new website areas. Led several team efforts to develop new content areas (see [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] for examples.) Technical editing skills are highly-rated by EPA customers - environmental scientists and engineers. Can provide references. First re-write project was not paid through GAF. Feedback from buyer: “Thank you for the articles. I would like to commend you for your excellent work. You have been very consistent with your delivery schedule and your quality. I really appreciate your professionalism.”
