My passion is to help people of all ages and abilities to increase independence, productivity, and connection. So many of us need help to leverage tech's benefits, but it's hard to know where to get it. That's why I created this course!
I believe in empowering others through affordable, cutting-edge technologies that many of us already have in our homes, schools, and workplaces.
It makes my day when I see that lightbulb moment in someone's eyes when they realize that just a few small changes can help overcome challenges!
Take advantage of the strategies and skills I’ve developed as an online tech coach, licensed and certified speech-language pathologist, and assistive technology specialist. I’m also the mother of four adults and am very involved in elder care. I know what it’s like to be pulled in multiple directions simultaneously and short on time. My mission is to help you overcome barriers to success and reduce stress!
Google now offers many free customizable tools beyond searching for information online. The problem is most people don’t realize these resources exist, especially those who need them the most!
I’ve structured this updated course so you choose to learn in a variety of different ways. Are you someone who likes to read the information? Prefer to watch videos? Want to interact with others online? Desire 1:1 help? Do you want to print out a short reference guide? We’ve got all that covered!
Each chapter has material for beginners as well as more advanced Google users. There will be opportunities to read new information and watch videos.
This is a unique opportunity to finally figure out a system that works for you!
