I live with my two teenaged sons and my husband on a rural property in the Latrobe Valley, about 130km east of Melbourne, Australia.  When we bought our first computer in the year 2000, we were asked what we like it to do for us.  I did not know what to answer!  "What do you do with a computer?"

After just one year we bought our second computer because I had outgrown the resources of the first one.  Since then I have learned how to work with various forms of multi media.  I used several facets of Adobe (Dreamweaver, Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, and Contribute) to produce different multi media products. I use Joomla as a content management system for websites which will be updated by users. 

( Sylvia I don’t know what this means “Different open source” is used by me when possible which is a cost effective method for many tasks on the computer. So I don’t know how to edit)

I am also familiar with various operating systems like Windows, Apple and Linux (mainly SuSe KDE). 

Over the years I have gained several qualifications: 

• Florist
• Home Help
• Certificate ll Information Technology (Applications)
• Certificate lV in Business (Small Business Management)
• Certificate lV in Leadership
• Certificate lV in Business (Frontline Management)
