Diane White
@dianewhite
Technical writer and editor specializing in procedure documentation, content quality, and style-guide consistency.
What I'm looking for
I’m a technical writer and editor who thrives on turning complex processes into clear, reliable documentation. I develop and improve procedural content, edit for accuracy and readability, and ensure every deliverable follows the right editorial standards.
Across my roles, I’ve built and refined documentation that teams depend on—developing templates, styles, and images for the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) Editorial Procedures Manual, updating science writing editor standards review processes, and creating specification sheets for online procedure request/update forms. I also led the implementation of a documentation management system, including content migration and workflow setup.
I bring a strong quality-and-collaboration mindset: I fact-check and compile citations, reformat and rewrite training/manual content, cross-check standards (including ELPS/TEKS), and QA migrated content for issues like broken links or missing information. I’ve also trained and supported other writers, including supervising technical writers and contributing to onboarding and staff training.
