Marni C is a meticulous editor with a keen eye for detail and a passion for excellence. She got in on the ground floor of the electronic learning industry (back when it was known as computer-based training) and has gone on to manage, mentor and edit the work of dozens of documentation writers, e-learning specialists and freelancers. In her own right, she is an articulate writer and resourceful researcher who absorbs complex technical information and relays it understandably to non-experts. She is also a seasoned e-learning professional who designs engaging and effective educational programs. Over the course of her career, she has written and edited a variety of materials, from newsletter and feature articles to technical documentation and electronic courses on a wide range of topics, including health care, insurance, banking, derivatives trading, and legal topics. She has worked for hospitals, publishing houses, software companies and e-learning developers, and she has a particular interest in medicine and other scientific topics. Whatever the subject matter, she aims to ensure that the material is clear, concise and appropriate for the target audience. She has a reputation as a stickler for accuracy, consistency and adherence to standards, and she is well-versed in AP and APA style. Marni has a master’s degree in educational communication and technology from New York University’s School of Education, Health, Nursing and Arts Professions and a dual bachelor’s degree in public relations and psychology from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications and School of Arts and Sciences. She was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and is an alumna of Hunter College High School in New York City.
