TECHNICAL WRITING PROJECTS

My Master's Writing Portfolio

I graduated with a 4.0 GPA from NAU in May 2021. Over the last two years in the M.A. Professional Writing Program, I accumulated a portfolio of work to demonstrate my capabilities as a Technical Writer.

ADVANCED TECHNICAL WRITING

The first course I took in the Master’s program was called “Advanced Technical Writing.” I was granted special permission to take the course during my undergrad, here is where I found my passion for technical writing.


During the class, we focused on the specifics of writing memos, headlines, the decimal system, and the layout of documents. One project we completed focused on the description of operating two different smoke detectors.


The other project was a technical memo that followed a case study about a lab technician’s replacement recommendation for shared lab equipment.


Both projects represent the valuable techniques and document construction that I learned early on in my ambition for higher education.

MANAGING A TEAM OF WRITERS

I lead a team of Undergraduates on three different projects featured on the website, iFixit. Together, we successfully published an instruction manual, SEO optimization, and edited a web post. 

Examples of our work may be found below.

"Sarah's leadership stye is one that I find both agreeable and highly motivating. Her excellent scaffolding skills help us to know what’s expected and that she's there to work with us not above us. In the context of being a boss versus being a leader, Sarah is definitely a leader."


-Dana Borger


"Sarah has a great leadership style as she works well to delegate and oversee the projects we are currently working on. Her communication skills help move the group forward, allowing for ample time and direction given to us to complete tasks. Sarah’s leadership is done in such a way where I feel valued and secure in the team’s success!"
