In line with my composition and writing studies research interest in collaborative composing platforms and my technical communication research interest in user-centric single-sourced content, I maintain my single-sourced CV as a Google Doc. I use the Google Doc as a source file for versions as needed for specific projects, audiences, and purposes.

The design of my CV is intentional, as should be the case of a technical communicator. I’ve assumed users will read my CV as a printed artifact, so I’ve used a traditional serif typeface, Playfair Display, for the body of the document. I’ve juxtaposed a modern san-serif typeface, Roboto Condensed, in the headings and subheadings to provide high contrast and clearly demarcate section breaks.

I’ve used color judiciously to identify the major sections of the CV, reflecting the importance of education, research, teaching, and service in higher education. Perhaps controversially, I’ve elevated professional experience and professional development to the same levels, reflecting the important role professional experience and professional development have played in shaping my research agenda and teaching experiences. And I’ve elevated recognition and honors to demonstrate that my professional and academic work has been valued throughout my career.

I’ve elected not to replicate my CV in HTML on the site. I consider the Google Doc version to be authoritative, and I use it as the source file for any other versions that exist. As a result, I include my publications on the site to demonstrate that I’m actively engaged in scholarship, my classes and syllabi to demonstrate that I’m actively engaged in teaching, and my current service responsibilities to demonstrate that service is an important aspect of my professional and academic experiences.
