About Me
I love helping people use technology better.
I went to school for interdisciplinary environmental studies. I was an organizer for a large nonprofit organization, I ran local political campaigns, and I did communications in a government policy office for nearly a decade.
Since then I have worked in many industries, across sectors: nonprofit governance and fundraising, hospitality, office management, virtual assistance, web development (and amateur homesteading – you should try my olive sourdough bread!).
I am still an environmentalist (I blog about it here). I have come a long way from policy analysis and activism, but I am more passionate than ever about supporting small business people and community organizers who do essential work building resilient futures.
Nobody should be held back by their unfamiliarity with technology that could help them save time or meet new challenges.
That’s why I’ve devoted my career to helping them understand how to use technology to achieve their goals – without burning out.
