Rachel Baker

Hi! My name is Rachel Baker; I am a technical writing and editing professional who specializes in helping others present their ideas effectively. I graduated from the University of North Texas in May, 2015, magna cum laude, with two bachelors' degrees in Professional and Technical Communication and English with concentration in literature. Currently, I am pursuing a masters degree in technical communication and work as a writer for a clinical research company.

From a young age, I have understood the power of words. They inspire, weave stories, bring people together, and break others apart. With correct structure, characters are born, proposals form, and web content takes shape. I enjoy taking ideas and crafting them to meet the needs of an intended audience. Between working as a technical writer, I moonlighted as a Bookseller. I worked in the Young Adult section and loved assisting young readers find their next favorite book.

While my repair experience is a little limited, I am a quick study. If I don’t know how to do something, I will figure it out. I do however, have some experience with general electronic repair and have a bachelors degree in learning how to write like I’m the expert on a subject, which involves knowing to whom to talk and where to find and how to synthesize information.
