Krista Burdine
@kristaburdine
I build clear, consistent content systems for technical communities, nonprofits, and small businesses.
What I'm looking for
I've produced documentation and outreach materials for GitSkilled / GitHub Social Impact, standardized partner messaging, and built content calendars and reusable communication templates.
At Rocky Linux, I recruited and supported volunteers, represented an open-source community at international technical events, maintained Markdown documentation in GitHub, and established contributor style guides. I've also edited and published multi-channel nonprofit content for Promised Land Dachshund Sanctuary, creating templates and workflows that keep contributor output consistent.
Across Grammaresque Author Services, Azure Escapes Travel, and Common Cuisine, I've copyedited more than 100 manuscripts and independently written, edited, formatted, and published WordPress content. I bring a detail-focused editorial approach, conversational Spanish, public speaking experience, and a long record of remote, deadline-driven work.
