SRP Publications
I designed the Training group’s cover,
and I was a major contributor to my department’s style guide, the
Training and Technical Communication groups’ single sourcing template,
the department’s presentation template, and so on.
In addition to the published papers listed above, I wrote or teamed to
write approximately 30 manuals and user guides, designed about 50
covers, created about 45 quick reference cards, and designed and
authored many project, departmental, and company style guides for
documentation and presentations. Some of the more significant manuals
and user guides are described on the next page.

Information was difficult to find online for this Russian city, so the
students found it very helpful in preparing for their trip.

Phoenix Chapter meeting in June fell on Flag Day.

created and later used in conjunction with the Phoenix Chapter food
