Angela has been a technical writer since 1994 and an independent consultant since 2002. She aims to work with organizations that value the benefits of quality documentation. She believes in creating better work environments through better documentation and training.
With extensive experience in the information technology, healthcare, and manufacturing industries, Angela is able to adapt her services to other types of organizations. Her success comes from working closely with subject matter experts to create various types of documents. Angela has developed policy and procedure manuals, software manuals, installation manuals, user guides, safety manuals, training material, course programs, online training, tutorials, job aids, and content structures for websites.
For all projects, the focus is always on the audience (users) of the information.
High-quality documentation can only be achieved by knowing who the audience is and what information they need.
I have retained Angela on a number of major project ranging from ones requiring very precise language and style – to ones requiring more elegance and nuance. Angela repeatedly proved herself to be a master wordsmith and editor who continually delivered in a creative, skillful and professional manner. Her ability to grasp both the scope and strategic intent of the assignment before her makes her an invaluable consultant.

I have had the pleasure of working with Angela (Meridian Communications) since 2006. Our first project together was probably the most complicated we undertook. With that project, Angela's key role was project manager. With her guidance, we developed a comprehensive realistic timeline with key deliverables. She was committed to ensuring that a high-quality product was developed—one that met the diverse educational needs of adult learners in an asynchronous distance learning environment. Throughout the three year project, she competently collaborated with subject matter experts, researchers, exam writers, and other consultants and team members.
Her attention to detail is second to none. A trait that was critical for our first project. The end result was a product that is used as a benchmark by others.
Since that time, we have collaborated on a variety of projects of varying degrees of complexity. All of them had the same outcome—a high-quality deliverable that met the needs of our organization and the desired audience. Even after moving to another organization, I continue to work with Angela on different projects whenever possible.
