Abstract Details

2011, Master of Technical and Scientific Communication, Miami University, Communication Studies.
From January to July 2010, I worked as a technical writing intern at a medical device company where I gained experience developing a wide variety of departmental and product documentation. The most comprehensive project I worked on involved developing instructional inserts for two new surgical devices. Through my participation in this project—and other projects during my internship—I learned to leverage the knowledge of subject matter experts more effectively by closely collaborating with them throughout the document development process rather than treating them as isolated technical resources. Consequently, I gained a deeper understanding of the role of subject matter experts in the document development process and, as a result, will be better at determining how and when to leverage their skills and knowledge in my future endeavors.
