Krista Parker

Krista knew she was going to be a writer from the time she first learned to read. And although writing is her number one passion, cooking comes in at a very close second.

Krista is what you call a "compassionate cook". She has been vegetarian for many years and fully vegan since 2007. She uses no animal products in baked goods and savory dishes whatsoever. Becoming vegan has allowed Krista to explore many different types of cuisine and she loves to share that knowledge with others through writing in a personal blog.

Other than food, Krista writes about almost anything. Working for the computer department at her university has allowed her to gain a wealth of knowledge on computers and technology. She has worked in this department since June 2007. Her work for computer services is seen on the departments documentation page as well as in yearly newsletters.

Writing technical documentation is not something she thought she would ever see herself doing, but after years writing documentation at her job, she has found the value in excellent technical writing. Technical writing has helped her understand readers better and in doing so has helped her improve her creative writing as well.
