This is a culmination of the assignments I have completed while taking Technical Writing. This blog is my portfolio of work and descriptions of work that have shown how I have grown to learn and apply technical writing for this 2013 summer quarter Technical Writing Class. 

Professional Introductions

Our first assignment was of technical writing was to create a professional introduction and post it to the course blog. It was to include background of yourself and why you are taking technical writing. Attached will be a word document of only my entry and response to a classmate, as will the actual course blog website with all submissions.
