Technical Writer / Proofreader / Editor

My career background is very diverse. I have a BSEE and worked in the semiconductor industry for 18 years. I was a nurse throughout my 20's and also while I was working on my engineering degree. I am American and a native speaker of English. I have completed some masters level classes, including a three term series on technical writing. I am very meticulous in my work. When I take on a project I focus on it until it is complete. My working hours are European time. I have available to me these professional Adobe Acrobat, Illustrator, Photoshop, Microsoft - Word, PP, Excel Also corresponding Mac tools - Word Processing, Spreadsheet, Presentations and so on. In the interest of integrity I do not do projects which are projects that should be done by you towards a higher degree in education. I will proofread and even check the work. I will tutor if you need it via Skype. I prefer to do work where the topic is of interest to me and provides real value to the reader.

Mentor Graphics

Oct 1998 - Dec 2000 (2 years, 2 months)

Worked closely with software developers and lithography engineers to create new manuals for Calibre Optical and Process Correction software.

Mentor manuals were created using Framemaker and Adobe software. In this role I also collaborated with the customer training developer to improve and edit training materials.

Qualifications

International TEFL and TESOL Training

2013

The 120-hour TEFL course covers two distinct areas. Roughly half the course is focused on subjects related to teaching skills that are required in the EFL classroom, this includes teaching theories and methodologies, classroom management, lesson planning and how to test and evaluate the progress of your students. The remainder of the course is based around the subject of language awareness; this covers all the main areas of English grammar such as the parts of speech and the tense system, as well as other items such as pronunciation.
