This page showcases my professional and technical writing. I have written for universities, government offices, non-profits, small buisinesses, and community organizations. Also included here is an article I wrote that showcases my research and analysis skills.
Online Development Internal Process Sheets
Before leaving my position with the Online Development office at Eastern Washington University, I created a set of internal process documents and training materials meant to be used by the next person to fill my role. The table of contents linked at the left shows the planning and organization that went into the document as well as the breadth of the materials I created for the project. In addition, you can read a few of the documents I created, including style guides, internal process documents, and external troubleshooting pages (meant for students, primarily non-traditional students).
genres :: process documentation, help pages, style guides
Fundraising Letter and Event Memo
I served for two years as the Marketing Chair for the Foundation for Haslett Schools. In this role, I created various marketing and fundraising documents for the organization, including this fundraising letter and event memo. I also wrote, edited, and designed newsletter content, marketing timelines, and event programs, individually and in collaboration with other board members.

Graphic Design Wiki Article
I wrote this extended definition of graphic design for a wiki. The wiki was run through a writing center, and the audience for the article was student writing consultants—in this case, those who would be helping peers with visual design projects

French Liaison Analysis
I love to learn new things, and my time at Michigan State has given me opportunities to try out new content areas. I wrote this article for a graduate-level phonology class I had the opportunity to take. This paper showcases my background in linguistics, my ability to research and analyze data, and my familiarity with APA style. It also reflects my interest in French, which I have intermediate familiarity with.
