Introduction
I help Mac users get better acquainted with technology, in the SF East Bay area and via remote coaching sessions. My clients appreciate my patient, inquisitive approach, ability to meet them where they are, and that I provide the tools so you can learn to help yourself. I offer a blended focus on technology and people that might feel like therapy. I love learning from my customers as they share problems I've never experienced before. Some issues are easy to resolve while others take a bit of research and experimentation. Always, I appreciate your unique needs, preferences, and expectations about how technology should work for you, and I help you achieve a level of computing flexibility that accommodates them. Join me to learn the language of technology, build confidence, and become more self-sufficient. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I am available for masked house calls if you will have me. Biking to and from our appointments energizes me to do my best work, however I find meeting on Zoom is at least 80% as effective as meeting in person.
