I Got a New Job!

I started a new contract this week – working with the BC Technology Social Venture Partners. What's that, you ask? Why, it's a network of tech CEOs who donate their time and expertise as well as their money to the various projects supported by BCTSVP. I'm still learning about all the ins and the outs, but I'm excited to be involved – the grantees of BCTSVP are an extremely worthy selection of social enterprise initiatives. My friend Jason is a partner, as are a couple of other folks that I know.

Anyhow, I'll be doing some event support and some project management, among other things. It's a short-term contract, until February, and I'm pretty happy that I'm going to be busy and challenged through these dark winter months. Definitely helps with the winter blues, I find – nothing worse than being idle AND bummed. Cool

About this Site

A hodge-podge of random thoughts, musings, and links – sometimes about social change, sometimes about technology and the web, sometimes about yoga, and occasionally about knitting. Sometimes (because I'm a Canadian girl with deep roots in the British Isles) I even write about the weather.

I'm a yoga teacher, founder of Yoga for Geeks, and a freelance web writer, strategist, and project manager. I also help to co-create the amazing Web of Change Conference, every September in beautiful British Columbia.
