Kathy Burckhardt’s Summary

I'm a social media evangelist, desktop publisher, designer of PowerPoint presentations, and business forms (print and PDF). I dabble in CSS web design, photography, and I'm a digital native, gadget geek, lover of languages, wannabe world traveler.

I LOVE social media tools, especially facebook and twitter. They not only allow me to socialize and network, but they also allow me to share my knowledge with others in technology, applications, software, etc. I also share my knowledge of facebook, and twitter. This makes me happy.

I had it ready for him in 1 hour. Then the client requested that I turn their presentation into the actual template, and that took me about 2 hours. They were very pleased with the quick turn-around time and the template. They have now asked that I show them how to use the template.
