STC-MGL is pleased to introduce you to the newest chapter leaders.
Deb has been an active STC MGL member and participant in the mentoring program for a couple years and we are so excited to welcome her to the council. Learn more about Deb below!
Name: Debanina (Deb) Seaton
Position: Secretary
Years in STC: About two years
Years in Technical Communication: About two years
Current Position and Employer: Currently I am a Technical Writer at Aston Carter (on assignment at General Motors Company)
STC and related work experience: I became a member of STC in 2022. I’ve participated in multiple STC-MGL events, including in-person meet-ups. Currently I am working on content management for General Motors Company and assist in some technical writing. I also am working on improving my skills in Microsoft Excel, Power BI, and other software programs that would assist me in reaching my goal of becoming a financial technical writer.
Why are you interested in this office position? I really would like to contribute to the chapter more. I think there are a lot of great opportunities and contributions I could make as a chapter office member. One of those contributions is introducing technical communication to younger people to see if it is a career they would consider, and other ways to encourage more members to the group.
What else would you like members to know about you? I really love animals! I like them so much I started short-term fostering cats and dogs. I also like to travel. I would like to visit every continent, and I really like to try new foods – especially bizarre ones. I really want to try a fried scorpion and maybe a Balut. I have an eclectic taste in music, and one of my favorite genres is metal. I currently work out 4 days a week and I’m not sure I’d try bodybuilding competitions in the future, but I will eventually learn power lifting.
Education: I graduated from Wayne State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and a minor in Political Science. I also completed a technical communication boot camp course in 2022 and received a certificate of completion.
