Highlights
|
I write manuals and online help, tutorials, white papers, and articles
on science, technology, and the environment. My editing experience
includes fiction, nonfiction articles, and journal articles.
I have 5+
years of experience in academic physics research, 3+ years as a
reporter at a large newspaper, and 1+ year as a scientific copyeditor. That gives me the technical, interpersonal, and written communications skills needed to understand
and explain complex topics.
Master's degrees in physics and journalism.
