I am a graduate student at Drexel and a technical writer for a brokerage
firm in Philadelphia. While my background is in education, writing for a
large user audience is new to me. I am taking some writing courses at
Drexel and feel less of a loner than I did a year ago. It is often
difficult being the only person in your office that does what you do,
because you don't have anyone to try new ideas out on. I know now that I
am not alone. Thank you.
