Field Experience:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

I have been a technical writer in the advertising, training, aerospace, and computer industries. My favorite technical writing job was my time working for the Mission Operations Directorate at NASA in the 1980s, where I prepared training materials for Shuttle astronauts, flight controllers, and payload specialists.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Something Fun:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

I teach remotely from Houston, where I live with my husband. We have a rescue dog named Skipper, who has grown WAY larger than I expected (61 pounds!), and a rescue cat named Mischief, whose name fits her!\u00a0 In my free time, I do genealogy and play Dungeons and Dragons. <\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
