Hello, my name is Paula Lewis.
I am currently attending the University of North Texas to earn a Master's degree in Technical Communications
I have always had a creative side, and I was able to foster that creativity through teaching high school Yearbook and Journalism. After teaching high school for five years, I got my first master’s degree in English and began teaching college. While working at the college level for the past three years, I realized that English education needs to adapt to the STEM field students and the Humanities simultaneously. I decided to begin studying Technical Writing.
Through Technical Writing I can combine all my passions of English, writing, Journalism, and Yearbook to design and create technical deliverables. I would like to utilize my teaching and technical writing abilities and become a general Technical Writer or Instructional Designer as well as teach Technical Writing at the college level.
Fixing Experience:
As far as fixing things, growing up I worked with my father in the garage or at his job because he worked so much. I wanted to spend time with him, so he taught me about fixing cars, repairing and building computers, painting, laying tile, building on an addition to a house, electrical work, and landscaping. My love for fixing things was fostered through the love of my father.

Hobbies:
