I am an English major and Computer Science minor at the University of Massachusetts Boston working with faculty from both departments to obtain a specialization in Technical Writing.
The program in which I'm involved primarily focuses on producing documentation
for teams of software developers.
Having recently completed all of the required courses courses for the Technical Writing Program,
I am currently looking for a technical writing, communication, or
publication internship to
complete my education and to further develop my technical knowledge and
writing skills. By the end of Spring 2009, I will have finished (or nearly
finished) my undergraduate education, and will be seeking full-time
employment.
