Welcome!

Hello, my name is Rebecca Johnson, and I am a graduate student at the University of North Texas (UNT). I am pursuing my Master of Arts in Professional and Technical Communications.

Future Aspirations

Ever since I was a child, writing has been a major part of my life. While my dream is to become a published creative novel author, I’m also looking forward to pursuing my professional career in technical writing. I would love to use my skills to support a start-up or growing business where I can implement high-level content management and development strategies at an early maturity level.

I would also love to turn my beaded jewelry into a small business. I enjoy crafting, designing, and repairing jewelry, bookmarks, keychains, and other trinkets.

Major Accomplishments

My major accomplishments aren’t repair oriented, but they are writing based. I have written an unpublished poetry chapbook that explores the world of chronic illness. Four of the poems in that chapbook have been published independently by The Metaworker Literary Magazine, The North Texas Review, and Juven Press.

Repair Experience

My repair experience is limited to minor sewing projects (ex: stuffed animals and shirt buttons) and small everyday repairs like broken Christmas ornaments and mug handles. However, I am looking forward to this opportunity to expand my knowledge of more in depth repairs through the iFixit project.

Fun Facts

  • I have a 17 and a half year old cat named Cinnamon!
  • I love almost anything orange/citrus flavored (ex: oranges, juice, gum, etc) but I’m not a fan of the color. In fact, my favorite color is purple!
  • I absolutely need music playing in the background while I’m working, and my favorite artist to listen to is Thomas Bergersen!
