Professional Writings Navigation Image

 

The bulk of my writing has been professional and technical, much of it in-house or published under institutional bylines.

While my doctoral dissertation and artist blog, Dante’s Wardrobe have my name on it, many other publications do not. I was the co-lead and major content provider for Writing@APUS, the author of user manuals and technical presentation guides for a major professional and scientific organization and several universities, the promotional writer and designer for an alternative health care provider and a singer-songwriter, a guest blogger for an academic marketing site, and the creator of scholarly book and journal indexes. See below for more info.
