About
I am an award-winning writer/editor having been given the Pinnacle Book Achievement Award. Furthermore, I scored highest in the state of California on an editing civil service examination and went on to work as an editor with the California Department of Education where I wrote and edited newsletters, curriculum guidebooks, and a textbook. I have published in the Readers Digest and have written an award-winning novel. In the technical field, I served as engineering writer for Westinghouse Electric Corporation and wrote instruction manuals, operating procedures, and maintenance procedures, as well as HR material.
