A University of Central Florida double-alum with a Master’s in Digital Media, I'm a content creator who loves bringing people together over shared interests. As AVIXA's Coordinator of Digital Content, I produce articles on a myriad of technology topics. I've also worked on virtual reality projects, transforming Romanian folk tales into VR narratives.
In my role with AVIXA standards and content teams I provide technical advisement and strategic leadership. This primarily includes standards publications and the Exam Guide books.
My interests span the broad spectrum of AV/IT technologies and systems our industry provides. Prior to taking a staff role with AVIXA I worked supporting AV/IT solutions for both public and private education as a "Technology Manager" (roles including repair, installation, design and project management) as well as a longtime volunteer for AVIXA education and standards programs.
Many organisations have AV technology systems that are difficult to use, frequently breaking, or not aligned with needs. Sound familiar?
This leads to frustration and holds people back from performing at their best. konnectus provides independent services including consultancy, strategy, design, project management and more.
We help corporate, government, and education sector leaders implement AV technology solutions that facilitate high performance outcomes for their people, businesses, and customers.
"Technology.simple" is our tag line, and what we stand for. Our focus is on people and optimising their experiences with the AV technology. The konnectus team has delivered user friendly, fit for purpose, and crystal clear audio and video systems to more than 1500 spaces across 300+ projects throughout the ANZ region.
Our proven process has helped over 100 medium to large organisations in 8 different industries. Our clients save at least 20% on their initial AVT investments and over 50% on ongoing annual operational costs.
We stand by our work and clients, and guarantee to deliver the agreed results on every project. No exceptions. We are passionate and strive for excellence, and our commitment to partnership with you means guaranteed performance.
A marketing professional and 20-year AV industry veteran, I am a proud CTS holder and enthusiastic #AVfoodie who is passionate about innovative technologies, design, and all things AV.
I look forward to connecting with you here on Xchange and invite you to join me on LinkedIn as well.
To reach me, please message me on LinkedIn, as I am unable to reply to conversations here.

Life is miserable without work. But when work is soulless, life suffocates and dies. If all businesses are to be real businesses, then perhaps all offices should be studios. If fostering creativity is the goal for business, then the work environment should offer a more collaborative atmosphere. The creative economy needs independent thinkers who have the freedom and ability to think creatively.
