Megn Thomason's Portfolio
About
I completed my masters in Professional and Technical Communication at the University of North Texas in May 2023.
This past year, I have implemented content strategy, content analysis, and content management in different projects.
I’ve continued to grow in technical editing, writing and design.
I am most proud of the projects that required using new-to-me software, such as Camtasia, oXygen XML and the Adobe suite.
Communicating value through stories is a uniquely human experience I wish to foster in myself and others.
Internship Experience
