I am a Technology Coach/Trainer. I am a computer savvy female geek who loves finding cool new technology tools and gadgets, and I am often the first person my friends call when they have a computer question. I am also passionate about teaching people ways to use technology to better manage everyday life. My classes are a place of learning for all beginner geeks (aka regular people). I specialize in translating technology into plain English in an environment where all questions are good questions.
