First of all, I have common sense and am a natural-born problem solver. Here is a sample of what others say about me:
A quick introduction to Joy—an extremely talented writer and amazingly focused proof reader. She will find the hidden errors in anything!
I am passionate about writing and words, especially providing clear, concise, optimized web content that is grammatically correct and easy to read. Consistency is my middle name – I give very close attention to the finest details.
My experience comes from three separate careers. As a legal secretary, I:
  • Interacted with people from all walks of life
  • Developed administrative and organizational skills including complex calendaring, planning events, organizing voluminous files, and advanced word processing
  • Learned about the law – personal injury, real estate, corporate, and bankruptcy
  • Learned about documentation and how to write
At Heartbeat Family Partnership, a nonprofit organization, I coordinated the Family Support Partner training program. My role included:
  • Developing a website, marketing materials, training materials, and handouts
  • Recruiting participants
  • Securing a facility/liaison
  • Strengthening the curriculum
  • Group supervision
For the past eight years, I was part of a team that developed e-learning courseware for the IRS, the U.S. Navy, University of California San Diego, and other clients. I have extensive experience with editing and wordsmithing:
  • e-learning
  • Print products (tutorials, proposals, marketing materials)
  • PowerPointPresentations
