My name is Angelia Bates, and I bring over 30 years of professional experience in the legal field to my academic journey. My career has focused on drafting, editing, and managing legal documents, policies, and procedures that must be both technically precise and accessible to diverse audiences — from executives to end-users.

Through this work, I have developed strong skills in technical writing, compliance communication, and document design, ensuring that complex requirements are communicated clearly, accurately, and effectively. I take pride in translating intricate legal details into language that people can easily understand and apply.

As I pursue a Master of Arts in Professional and Technical Communication at the University of North Texas, I am expanding my expertise, with a focus on user experience design and digital documentation strategies. My goal is to combine my legal background with modern technical communication practices to create solutions that bridge the gap between regulations and real user needs.
