Born and raised in English-speaking Canada, I have my B.Math in Computer Science but studied English literature as a secondary discipline. Since 1995, I've worked in Software Quality Assurance, which required a great deal of reading and proof-reading, as well as writing plans and reports.
Also worked part-time as a church administrator for several years before formally retiring. This position required writing up the weekly announcements, as well as updating the contents of the web site.
Topic areas have included business, health, product reviews, business practices, and real estate.
