About My Involvement With Serious Games:

I am a developer and trainer of programs and workshops for businesses, and organisations. My particular focus is on communication topics, writing in particular. My interest in Serious Games stems from a desire to develop engaging and innovative programs to supplement the face-to-face programs that I currently offer. I recently attended the Serious Virtual Worlds Conference '07 in Coventry in September this year. I found it fascinating to hear the different perspectives and see what people are doing in the Serious Games space.

About Me:

I have had the privilege of working and travelling overseas throughout my life, and have lived in England (1 year), the United States of America (1 year) and Paris, France (3 years). That had broadened my outlook and helped me better understand my own Australian culture. I have two adult children (both boys). One lives in Port Hedland, Western Australia and the other is doing volunteer work in Cambodia. I live in Brisbane, Australia with my husband, Neil, and our dog, Griffey, who is a Corgi.

Favorite Sports Teams:

Not a great sports fan. I have a mild interest in how Australian teams are faring on the world stage.

Favorite Music:

Classical

Favorite TV Shows:

Detective shows, news, current affairs, innovative ideas...

Favorite Films:

I love going to films and usually do this once a week. I like films that develop characters and that have a deeper meaning than many of the more superficial films that are often produced.
