Bio of Patricia Feeney

Pat is a Ford Scholar with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Stanford University. She began her technical writing career in 1985 when Martin Marietta hired her to work on their multi-million dollar contract with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in Washington D.C. to update the National Airspace System (NAS) Plan. Working with financial analysts and engineers, Pat prepared documents for submission to Capitol Hill soliciting funding of various NAS Plan projects.

When Martin Marietta (then Lockheed-Martin) lost the NAS Plan Contract in 1995, the successor contractor, TRW, invited Pat to join them and carry on the contractually required technical writing she had been doing for the FAA. She performed in this capacity for the entire duration of the TRW NAS Plan Contract and was once again invited by the successor contractor, BAE, to assist with their transition of FAA documentation requirements to the new contract.

Other professional experience has included being selected to work on several proposal task forces, the most recent of which was preparation of the key resume package submitted with the successful Parsons Infrastructure & Technology Group Inc. Technology TSSC-III proposal. The award of the contract to Parsons was announced December 2001.

In 1989, Pat was selected to perform as a documentation consultant and senior technical editor on a special two-month assignment for Martin Marietta Canada, Ltd. (Ottawa) on their contract with Transport Canada Aviation Group. She was also selected to conduct Corporate Training Workshops in technical writing from 1988 through 1990 under the auspices of the Martin Marietta Corporate Training Program in Bethesda, MD.

Pat has consistently won awards from her parent organizations for outstanding sustained performance and continual process improvement. Other honors include an Award of Merit and an Award of Achievement from the Society of Technical Communicators in 1986 and 1987 for the technical editing and integration of professional documents.
