Meet Your Copilot for Microsoft 365 Mentor

With a robust career spanning over 40 years in the IT industry, I bring a wealth of experience. My journey has seen me spend more than 30 years mastering the intricacies of Microsoft Office. I have held diverse roles, from developer to tech support manager to project manager. I am the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Lead for a prominent global IT consulting company, a testament to my adaptability and leadership skills.

My work is not only a career but also a motivation that drives me to make a real impact in the world. I am deeply committed to ESG initiatives and strive to inspire others with dedication and enthusiasm. I regularly collaborate with community partners to help them meet their goals.

Outside work, I live at home with my wonderful fiancé, Rob, a published poet. I have a son, Rich, whom I am immensely proud of, and two amazing grandchildren, Aelyssa and Demitri, who fill my life with joy. I am an animal lover with three dogs and three cats, all rescues. Elephants are very dear to me, and I own more than four hundred elephant artworks in my house. I often give money to animal-related charities to support animal protection and rescue threatened species worldwide.

I enjoy engaging in various hobbies to express my creativity and unwind in my free time. I have a passion for photography and love capturing the world’s beauty through my lens. I also enjoy crocheting and crafting, which provide a sense of relaxation and accomplishment as I create unique pieces with my hands. And I love to cook, frequently experimenting with my own recipes. These hobbies bring joy and balance to my life, and I cherish the time I spend pursuing them.
