Professional Portfolio

Technical Documentation

The PowerSchool Student Information System is a powerful and complex software that requires high-quality technical documentation for customers to learn its ins-and-outs. Below, you will find the online help space that I was responsible for writing and maintaining.

Website Creation

I designed and created the website for Dancing Zebra Safari Co., including writing sample itineraries and blogposts, implementing a user-friendly navigation for both desktop and mobile versions, and creating an eye-catching site to draw in new customers.

Medi-Cal Policy

Like all legally binding documentation, Medi-Cal policy requires meticulous attention to detail and thorough analysis. As a Publications Analyst, I conduct quality assurance reviews along with independently developing my own content. All Medi-Cal policy is live in the Publications area of
medi-cal.ca.gov and an excerpt is linked below.

Marketing Letters

As a Proposal Writing Assistant, I designed eye-catching templates and wrote enticing cover letters in response to Requests for Proposal (RFPs). This served as PowerSchool's first line of marketing when pitching to new clients. See a sample proposal cover letter below. For confidentiality, some information has been redacted.

Instructional Design

As an Education Minor, I studied educational best practices and designed lessons and units as part of my studies. I had the opportunity to intern in a classroom with high school English students, observing, teaching, and assisting the lead teacher in charting out units and lesson plans. See below for a sample lesson plan.

Published Poetry

I am a lifelong reader and avid poetry writer. Since I took my first poetry workshop at UC Davis, I have consistently maintained a blog and have been published in the Open Ceilings magazine. All of my work is available on my personal blog (carpenoctumpoetry.com) and below, you will find a link to my work published with Open Ceilings.
