Writing and Speaking Services

Technical Writing

More often than not, Engineers, Developers, and Database Administrators are not the bestwriters. This is where I come in. I’ve written design documents, system-related documentation,user manuals, etc. for IT consulting companies and government agencies. Being technically-savvy and a fast learner, I’m able to work together with Software Management Experts (SMEs) tocreate documentation that can translate their technical jargon into language that anyone canunderstand.

Proposal Writing

I started volunteering at different non-profit organizations by assisting them with their grantwriting. This progressed into writing proposal in response to government request-for-proposals(RFPs). I’ve written quick ten-paged proposal to ones that were over 100 pages. One thing thatnever changed was the “Exceptional” rating I got on each and every one. I know one of the best-kept secrets is working closely with the client and doing extensive research. I’ve even offered myexpertise in helping the client improve their proposed solution.

Web Content Writing

A company’s web site is one of the key ways that your clients find out more about you. Therefore,you have to ensure that the content best reflects your company, your products/services, and your team. I can help you do that. We will work together to strive for a well-written site that will makeyour clients want to hire you over and over again.

Speaking

I teach business owners how to take control of their technical documentation, and the art of howto write a winning proposal. Recently, I taught a successful workshop, “How to Write a WinningProposal,” that taught business owners the ins and outs of writing a successful proposal inresponse to government request-for-proposal (RFPs). It was widely received, and I have beeninvited to return. I am currently accepting speaking gigs.

Business Analysis

50% of why a project fails are the lack of requirements. I have been doing business analysis for over five years, and I've worked with several client to design systems that will help improve their business processes. I am currently studying for the Certified Business Analysis Professionalcertification to further put my client's mind at ease that I know how to gather and analyzerequirements.
