Bio
I'm a Blogger, Instructional Designer and Photographer, as well as social media, news and tech enthusiast.

I have a combined 16 years experience in Technical Writing and Instructional Design. Not only has my career exposed me to a wide-range of software and technology in industries ranging from IT to Media Research, it gave me the opportunity to live in France for a few years.

I'm fascinated with social media and looking into ways to bring social learning to the masses.
