An extensive background in organizing, writing and producing technical proposals. I have participated and directed all proposal preparation processes, including developing manning levels, preparing organizational structures, attending site visits, assessing bid opportunities, developing bid strategies, locating key personnel, and preparing cost estimates. I have directed the activities of other technical writers, coordinating their efforts to produce a completed document within the timeframes specified.

Proficient in utilizing computer software and hardware to prepare and produce final, submission quality proposal documents. I use specialized software applications such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Project and Excel. I also utilized Adobe applications such as Acrobat, InDesign, Illustrator, and FrameMaker. I frequently obtain technical information from subject matter experts and summarize their contribution in easy-to-understand terms which supported the proposal preparation effort. I am experienced at working with cost proposal experts, at preparing staffing summaries and organizational structures, and at integrating them graphically into the final proposal to produce a seamless document that is consistent with the cost proposal. I am highly organized and able to work with a broad spectrum of people, from corporate executives to working level personnel. I have been successful in reducing my client’s proposal preparation efforts and their resource commitment, avoiding disruption to normal operating activities.
