Connecting people and information through technology

I'm a social technologist who is interested in discovering new digital ways for people to do their jobs better, have happier relationships with others, and live better lives.

I'm working on my dissertation to earn my Doctorate in Learning Technologies at Pepperdine University. My background is in organizational training and development: I've been a classroom trainer and an instructional designer, and I am passionate about learning. I'm also very involved in local technology events, like PodcampAZ, and I'm a devoted Yelper.

I write a blog about social networking tools inside organizations called Internal Social, I have a miniblog devoted to my dissertation research on communication and knowledge building in a co-working environment, and I maintain a portfolio of instructional content that I have created as an instructional designer.

Check out my other websites for more info about me, or just hit me up on Facebook, Twitter, or old-fashioned email. I'm available for consulting and speaking as well.
