About me

Proven technical writer with extensive experience in aviation, manufacturing, and regulatory compliance. Skilled in transforming complex technical concepts into clear, comprehensible content. Demonstrated ability to interact effectively with stakeholders at all levels to ensure document accuracy. Proven record of working under tight deadlines and maintaining organized systems of document revision. I have commercial aviation exposures via technical writing projects within FAA regulated industry. I also have active operational experience in aviation as a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army and hold a Commercial Instrument certificate. Biotech, Medical Device, Pharmaceutical and Transdermal experience was honed as both a Senior Production Operations Supervisor for FDA regulated product and technical writing contracts and positions.

I evaluate processes, determine where critical metrics should be recorded, and create the forms and procedures to direct processes, support training materials and ensure regulatory requirements are met.

I have a significant understanding of both FAA and FDA regulatory requirements, and practical experience from operational and quality assurance positions in regulated industry. I have extensive experience creating, producing and editing documentation which meets regulatory scrutiny. I have worked with businesses from different niches, including medical devices, transdermal patches, biotechnology influenza vaccine, bilial system guide wires et al.

I am very familiar with the need to convenience compliance through simple, effective procedures and convenient easy-fill forms that reduce errors while collecting data to meet regulatory scrutiny.

What I do

I study your product specifications and manufacturing goals, perform a gap analysis and/or incorporate your pre-existing inspection findings before developing process flows, SOPs, forms and training materials to record critical process metrics which meet regulatory scrutiny. I have extensive operational experience and have taught cGMPs, GDPs, aseptic gowning, and sterile techniques for new hires and annual review.
