My Gear
I’m using a Windows 10 HP desktop computer as my main machine, but I travel with a 2019 Macbook Pro that’s currently running macOS Catalina (10/14/06). My phone is an iPhone 12 Pro (yay for mega smart phone cameras!). I also have an iPad Pro running iOS 14, and a Chromebook running Chrome OS 76, as well as a Fitbit Versa 2, a Samsung Gear 2 Classic watch, I expect I'll be upgrading to the Apple Watch 6 soon.
Jerri studied English and Technical Writing at Western Kentucky University. Since college, she continues her education through online and university courses in technology, marketing, project management, and writing courses. Jerri holds certifications in creative writing, digital marketing, content marketing, and social media marketing.
I love to help people achieve more with the technology they already own. We're in a super connected world. If I can create an article that helps you make the most of that and improve even some small aspect of your day, then I know I've done my job right.
