Corrigo welcomes Nicolette Angel and Linda Branam as the newest members of the Corrigo staff. They joined our volunteer staff in February as acquisitions editors and will be responsible for recruiting articles for our quarterly publication.
Nicolette is a freelance technical editor, writer, and translator living in Lyon, France. She holds a B.S. degree in European Affairs and German (with 70 credit hours in math, science, and engineering) and an M.A. degree in Applied English Linguistics. Her first passion was for journalism, and she started writing columns in local newspapers at age 16 and served as an editor for the yearbook and creative writing magazine during high school. After college, opportunities lead her into technical communication by a somewhat circuitous route — technical translation, public affairs, teaching, training, technical writing, and finally technical editing in 1997. She is a senior member of STC and a member of the American Medical Writers Association. Her current clients are biomedical physicists and cancer researchers.
Linda is a senior technical editor at Aesbus Knowledge Solutions in Houston, Texas. She has 11 years of experience in the computer industry. For the past six years, she has worked as a technical editor for premerger Compaq (now HP) projects. For Aesbus, she led a team that designed and wrote training materials. She then used these materials to train new writers. Her other experience includes training in computer applications. In that capacity, she wrote and edited training materials and conducted training for Harris County personnel. She also contributed articles to and desktop-published the department newsletter. She has a B.A. in elementary education but has found that working at the adult level lets her use her writing skills as well as her teaching background.
