Vanessa R.

I have been a technical writer for more than a decade in several different settings. I learn remarkably quickly and my researching skills are well honed. The majority of my career has been in environmental remediation working on internal documents, regulatory documents, and public documents. I also have a considerable amount of experience writing about software. I have held two positions working in manufacturing, one for a company that manufactures airplane parts, the other a pharmaceutical company. I created machining manuals and took pictures for the manuals (with occasional modifications to the pictures), as well as creating manuals for the division that worked in the conventional section. I also worked in the QA department and wrote procedures for ASO certification. For the pharmaceutical company, I wrote two years worth of reports for more than 15 APIs, including stability, quantity/quality, QA, recalls, and process issues. Although I thoroughly enjoy technical writing, creative writing is my first love and I started freelancing a few years ago to have more opportunity to employ my imagination. I write best about topics that interest me or that I feel passionate about. My sense of humor is generally nerdy, but I also have a satirical streak that comes out in my writing when appropriate.
