I live in a small village on the rural west coast of Vancouver Island. I adore spending time with my brilliant husband, Brett, my 12 year old son, Izaac (who is growing up way too fast!) and Zion (my dog who thinks he’s a human). I love swimming, camping, hiking and anything and everything to do with the outdoors – except for bears, cougars, wasps, horse flies, spiders, bees, scurrying creepy crawlies and other critters that bite, look like they may bite or seem to be a little bit scary. I also have a passion for photography and am hardly ever seen without my camera. I'm a technical consultant and writer who works from home.
I have been interested in technology since an early age and have worked with computers, in one form or another, for the whole of my career. I am the Managing Editor for Bright Hub’s Digital Photography channel and the Diet, Nutrition & Healthy Eating channel. I am also the Contributing Editor for the Green Computing/IT channel.
In addition to my role at Bright Hub, I am a full-time writer and technical consultant who has worked for numerous leading international technology companies. I have authored and co-authored white papers, case studies, press releases, help files and various other forms of documentation and MarComm on subjects ranging from security procedures in the credit card industry to the benefits of the server-based computing model. Writing samples and recommendations can be viewed from my LinkedIn profile.
Before my career as a writer, I obtained my RCA diploma (with honours) and worked as a Community Health Worker and RCA for many years. The elderly and people with physical and mental disabilities often struggle to maintain a well balanced diet and proper nutrition due to a number of factors (illness, dementia, medications, depression, difficulties chewing/swallowing, etc.). One element to my job was to ensure these people took care of their nutritional wellbeing and to provide such care when they were unable to do so themselves.
