I have my Masters in Digital Media from the Centre for Digital Media in Vancouver BC. This program is a result of joint collaboration between University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, Emily Carr Institute and private industry sponsors.
I am passionate about the internet and the possibilities it offers to change the world.
I have a strong focus on online communities I am fascinated with the future of these communities and have studied in depth how they will be used around the world . I am convinced that they will change the way the human race communicates, learns and interacts.. I am also passionate about media sharing - online or through mobile usage. I feel in the next few years that online mobile usage will increase by leaps and bounds and that for many people their mobile phone will actually be their first computer.
Wow – what a long way we have come in a few short years !!
I am currently running PeopleVancouver.com which is a network associated with The People Networks. I am also working on expanding into Canada’s largest cities.

: Developed widgets that work with a database tracking users’ carbon reduction efforts. The data is aggregated to a master widget showing the progress of all users. Another widget tracks personal contributions of each user. These widgets can be embedded in many places online. Along with the widgets, we created an online community that acts as the main portal for this project and on which users can add photos, videos, blogs and much more.
