Writing

I understand the importance of being able to write concisely and clearly. An important part of working within an inter-generational team is knowing when it is appropriate to write an email or pick up the phone and call. My job and interests require constant writing to colleagues as well as the relaying of technical instructions and concepts. My writing skills are conveyed clearly in the several tutorials and project descriptions on my site, technogumbo.com. There are two thorough samples that I would like to present in this section. The first is a marketing plan focusing on the College Project that I wrote for an entrepreneurship class, and the second is a sizable article about opportunities in telepresence that I wrote during my spare time in 2009.

This marketing plan is an analysis of the online learning atmosphere in 2007 and how The College Project could work its way into that environment. The article on telepresence encompasses my thoughts on opportunities in telepresence and robotics as well as the challenges we will be facing  in regards to travel and collaboration in a global economy.
