    Susan Schleef

    My bachelors degree in Secondary Education (with a focus in Music Education) took on new meaning when I started learning about computers in the late 70s and discovered I was good at understanding technology and at explaining it to others. For 23 years, I've done that in many jobs at the Red Cross.

"The background animation is very nice! Do you use an animated GIF for that or an MP4 that is being looped somehow, maybe with a trigger?"
