Technology Trouble? Maybe I can help.
Invalid Image LinkInvalid Image Link
Is your phone auto-correcting you in a language you don’t speak or setting itself on silent at seemingly random times? Just want to learn how to use some features of your tech or set up some home automation?
If tech in your life is giving you trouble, I’m happy to help. Together we can figure out the frustrations of your phone or the conundrum that is your computer. Or simply learn some new tricks to get all those “bells and whistles” working.
Let’s get the tech in your life working for you instead of against you.
I’m pretty tech savvy and excellent at research. If I can’t figure it out, I have a vast network of people I can call upon for assistance.
Caveats: I cannot build you a custom website for your business, but I can help you set it up with something like square space. I can’t fix a broken computer, but I can help get your new one integrated into your world.

Join us for an immersive journey through an urban edible forest garden with native herbs and perennial plants. This guided tour will highlight the unique flavors, aromas, and uses of native herbs such as bee balm, wild bergamot, goldenseal, ramps, alumroot, elderberry, mountain mints and more.
