Professional Background
Director
SEBIS
January 2014 – Present

I run my own business providing end-user computing training, mainly to educators in rural high schools and to individuals requiring advanced Microsoft Office skills. I also provide expert data analysis and presentation services, such as for large datasets from government departments. I have developed many bespoke Microsoft Excel applications for use in financial environments, such as a provincial government treasury, small organisation income and expenditure applications and project-specific solutions, such as for procurement of goods and services.
