I am a recent graduate, (03/03), of the Certificate Program in Technical and Scientific Writing at San Diego State University. I did an internship with Consistent Image of San Diego, California, a small consulting company that produces the manuals for Sprint Wireless Communications. At Consistent Image I was responsible for transferring two large documents from Quark Express 5.0 to Framemaker 6.0 in precise template form. I also assisted the company with several other print and online documents. My supervisor's comments about me and my work include the following: "A skilled writer," "a very good technical writer," "nice to work with," and "excellent work habits."
I also did much of the formatting and visual design work on a volunteer student team that produced a revision of the Substitute Teacher Handbook for the La Mesa-Spring Valley School District.
