The DocLady Story.

As the DocLady, I bring more than three decades of experience in creating and editing documentation to the table. Since childhood, I have been an avid writer, keeping diaries and journals, writing short stories, and working on my school newspaper.

From reporter and copywriter to desktop publisher, technical writer, and corporate communications specialist --I've successfully filled a variety of different roles that specialize in the written word.

At heart, I am a problem solver and enjoy working with others to create solutions that not only meet but EXCEED expectations.

I look forward to working with you to collaborate and create something special together!
