Karen Stein

I am a detail-oriented Senior IT Technical Writer and Editor with 30 years of experience creating and managing technical documentation, developing style guides, and establishing QA/QC processes for government and A/E/C clients. I routinely set up and run Technical Writing and Computer Training departments and serve as a user’s advocate to translate complex technical and GIS concepts into clear, accessible documentation.

My background includes producing RFP-compliant proposal content, editing multi-contributor deliverables (e.g., 21-consultant Los Alamos project), and implementing documentation standards, templates, glossaries, and version control in SharePoint. I combine hands-on testing, documentation, and training skills with strong grammar, organization, and publication management to ensure consistent, high-quality outputs.

I thrive in remote and collaborative environments, providing white-glove QA/QC, traffic control, and computer training (MS Office, Adobe Acrobat, content management). I seek roles that value excellence, quality, and continuous improvement while allowing me to add measurable value to documentation and training processes.
