My name is Lisa Schuster. I've been self-employed for several years as a Strategic
Communications Consultant, creating on-line and off-line business communications.
My background in strategic/targeted communications has taught me the importance
of clear, concise and consistent communications.
Recently, I've expanded my business to include personal
computer coaching, something I've done quite a bit of over the past few years
for friends and family. I enjoy teaching computer skills to others and
watching their excitement grow as they realize the power they have at their own
fingertips.
I also handle special projects such as scanning and
manipulating photographs (cropping, enhancing, etc.), software application loading and/or training, copywriting, editing, proofing,
desktop publishing and Web Site design/development.
Whether you need me to teach you how, or do it for you, I
can help you get the job done, and I can make using your computer more fun!
