Freelance marketing and technical communications writer

2001 - Present
Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida Area I develop marketing communications including print and web-based sales collateral and training materials for new products and services for major corporate clients such as IBM and Pitney Bowes. With a cache of communications experience, I frame technical knowledge in a way users can understand---above and beyond the usual agency experience---with faster turnaround and ROI. I work comfortably with agencies, taking jobs on a project-by-project basis.
