I can diagram sentences...What am I doing in a techie world? I used to wonder how I ended up in IT. I began my journey in IT as a technical writer. I had been a one in a past life for a company that did manufacturing, so it wasn't that much of a transition. The industry was different, but the skills transferred.

There's more of a connection than some people realize. Here are some of the skills that help me daily with quality assurance and technical writing/editing:

1. Writing, editing, and proofreading
2. Organizing (outlining, arranging, rearranging)
3. Planning
4. Communication skills (written and verbal)
5. Formatting (documents, spreadsheets, and presentations)
6. Researching
7. Translating (I can translate complex ideas into Plain English.)
8. Adapting to software changes (I'm comfortable with using software and technology, and I have an idea of how it should work.)
