Enhancing someone’s experience with technology, whether for entertainment or functionality, is a blend of empathy, guidance, patience and good practice. And I love it!I meet users at their level and move them into their own meaningful technological space with respect and knowledge. This can be teaching an elder how to use password management tools to overcome that repeating obstacle or optimizing accessibility settings to make all uses easier. It can be guiding a hesitant VR newbie into that unreal world prepared, comfortable and safe, open to fully immersing in the content. It is working with financial and legal professionals to assist their tech-challenged clients with accessing documentation and digital asset legacy planning.I am passionately interested in the realm of human interaction in shared digital spaces, especially AR/VR/MR - see video below! A blended reality that dissolves the "magic circle" of game spaces will impact, for good or otherwise, just about everything we do. As an atypical gamer, I appeared in Newsweek, CNN and USA Today as well as Borland and King's "Dungeons and Dreamers".Most of my positions have involved extensive written and verbal communication and generally included speaking before, or training, groups and preparing instructional, directive, or persuasive documents. I enjoy all aspects of directed group work, both in person and remote. I have worked with teams in research, production, academia, government and commerce; bringing people with differing levels of expertise and attachment to a project or event and weaving together their contributions to bring about well-grounded results.Specialties: Training ▪ Communication ▪ Tech Writing ▪ Gerontology ▪ Distributed Teamwork ▪ Interdisciplinary Group Facilitation ▪ Project Management ▪ Event Coordination▪ Facilities and Schedule Management
