Executive Director Bio
With great enthusiasm, I present LevelUp Senior Tech Bridge's unique services to older adults, any disabled persons, and any disenfranchised communities in Boulder County. Our distinct offering, perfectly aligns with our mission and promises significant benefits for the communities we are dedicated to serving.
LevelUp Senior Tech Bridge is deeply rooted in my lifelong journey of being of service to the community I've been a part of since 1977. The idea took shape in 2023 when I began offering free tech support to my mom's neighbors as she lived at Golden West Senior Living Center in Boulder, Colorado. This was when I came to appreciate the community's digital and technical needs, which inspired me to start this non-profit organization. My dedication to this cause is unwavering, and I am committed to making a difference in the lives of our community members.
A wealth of experience and expertise marks my journey. In 1991, I completed my certification at the Boulder School of Massage Therapy. While studying at Colorado Mountain College in Steamboat Springs in 1995, I volunteered as a bowling coach for Special Olympics and contributed to fundraising efforts for United Way. After practicing massage therapy for a decade, in 2001, I transitioned to providing technical support for the Windows operating system environment and have worked with various Boulder-based companies since then.
In 2006, while living in Oregon before moving back to Colorado in 2011, I was introduced to Harmony Event Medicine, a nonprofit that offers Basic Life Support and psychological support services to patrons of multi-day music festivals. After a year of handing out Band-Aids, I switched to rebuilding and maintaining the organization's website, which I still manage today. This experience introduced me to the challenges of supporting an all-volunteer organization.
