About Valerie

Welcome!

My name is Valerie C. Wade, and I’m a technical communications professional and project manager based in Houston, Texas. I’m a longtime enthusiast of gardening, day hiking, and fiber arts. (Seriously, I’m fascinated by looms, spinning, and quilting.)

I love to use the written word to build bridges between companies and clients. As a detail-oriented technical communications professional, I have 8 years of success in delivering high quality work for software documentation, museum galleries, and curriculum development. I am a team player who is proficient in editing and communicating technical concepts to facilitate optimal business operations. Feel free to click through the headings at the top of this page for samples of my work.

I earned a B.A. in African American Studies and Psychology from Washington University in St. Louis and an M.A. in History from Duke University. My background in the humanities has given me a unique approach to my work in the field of technology. Taking technical information, whether it be from software developers or doctoral-level historians, and making it accessible for a variety of audiences is a passion of mine. Currently, I am looking for roles that will enable me to build upon this passion. If you would like to connect with me, please contact me here.
