Charlotte Rodeen-Dickert, Esq.

legal, science, and technical writing

 

About Me
     I have spent my career explaining things in one way or another. What I enjoy doing most is breaking down a complex idea to make it understandable enough to everyday people so they can learn from it. Often patent applications, legal briefs, engineering documents, and mathematical problems are filled with jargon that can be frustrating to wade through, much less understand.  I can make these easier to grasp without sacrificing the basic concepts.  I love that I am able to help others learn, and often I am rewarded by learning something new myself in the process.
