Successful technical writing isn’t about inspiration, and it’s not just speech or behavior written down. Good technical writing comes from knowing the steps to take to structure information – including text and design – to achieve an intended purpose for a well-defined audience.
When you need targeted, compelling, and accessible content for legal, scientific, or technical purposes, look no further! I'm your partner for success: know your purpose, define your audience, craft and convey materials that speak clearly to your audience without losing legal or scientific integrity.
I have written or co-written hundreds of policies, procedures, manuals, technical instructions, webpages, white papers, legislative drafts, FOIA requests, and other materials for federal, state, local, and tribal agencies across the U.S., plus international agencies, as well as industry, nonprofit firms, academic departments, and community-based organizations. I also have a robust background reviewing grants for Federal and state agencies, including DOJ, NSF, NIH, IRS, and others.
I provide nationally recognized subject matter expertise for criminal and juvenile justice agencies, with specialization in corrections, law enforcement, and sexual safety in custody. From policy development to staff training to safety inspections and audits, I make cure public and private justice organizations are equipped to meet and sustain compliance.

I offer personalized guidance tailored to each organization's needs, to make sure your facility is safe, secure, and healthy for staff and those in custody.
