Her Corporate Career
With more than 30 years of professional experience, Carolyn’s career has included systems analysis, software engineering, business analysis, management, technical editing, and technical writing. Regardless of her title, writing has consistently found its way into whatever job she found herself doing. Over the years, she has written business and functional requirements, technical and modeling documentation, as well as other formal deliverables while working with subject matter experts, business owners, developers, and other stakeholders.
Today, Carolyn brings that experience to her work as a Senior Technical Writer, Documentation Strategist, and Technical Writing Consultant. Her approach combines writing with research, analysis, problem solving, and the ability to gather and reconcile information from multiple sources to turn complicated information into clear, logical, and usable documentation.
