John Ormond

I help experts in highly technical fields to

• clearly express their ideas in plain language that a general audience can understand
• create educational materials, including complete courses, that allow them to share their expertise

I mostly create written instructions, standards and procedures, as well as presentations and reference materials. I also develop training and education programs.

I am familiar with APA and AMA style conventions.
