Speaking

Adria at the office

Let’s face it. Technology is a complex subject.

I make it simple by talking about problems and solutions, not gadgets and widgets.  Learn how to work smarter, not harder, using technology!

With 10 years of IT experience and certifications, I am comfortable speaking in front of a variety of people from youth to business professionals, from highly technical geeks to new bloggers.
