Currently, I am a Career Coach for a prominent outplacement firm, which involves the technical writing of career documents, including resumes and cover letters. In the spirit of Krista Van Laan’s words from The Insider’s Guide to Technical Writing, I will take great pride in knowing that one day I can truthfully say that I make a living as a professional writer, and that is not a small accomplishment.
This dream emerged during the pandemic as my role transformed from a learning facilitator into a full-time technical writer and e-learning course creator for sixth-grade math. Over approximately a year and a half, the entire curriculum needed to be delivered asynchronously to accommodate all my students. Although this was an entirely new endeavor, I developed a passion for this challenging and pivotal aspect of my job.
Professionally, my clients describe me as kind, helpful, positive, patient, friendly, professional, informative, genuine, flexible, supportive, personable, insightful, enthusiastic, quick to respond, attentive, invaluable, relatable, knowledgeable, optimistic, and fun!
Outside of my career aspirations, I am the proud wife to Matt and cat-mom to an adorable orange boy named Lumiére. I am also a passionate farming simulation gamer who enjoys titles such as Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley.
