Barbara Zarzosa copywriter.
Barbara is a geek who likes to write.
She fell in love with technology when she bought her first computer - an Atari 520 ST. One look at its glowing green command prompt, and she was hooked. In the ensuing years she’s designed and built websites, databases, computer networks and learned CCNA routing.
Through 3M Canada's Women in Technology & Trades project, she has prepared and presented workshops for middle and high school students designed to highlight alternate career choices in the technical field.
Barbara helps businesses communicate their ideas and tell their stories.
As a freelance writer she has written content for various businesses and not-for-profit organizations. A long-time scribbler of poetry, short stories and non-fiction articles, her work has appeared in periodicals such as Our Times, Mature Perspectives and The Journal. She is the editor of Out and Aging: Our Stories, an oral history of LGBT seniors in Windsor-Essex County, Ontario.
Her career includes serving as a consultant to non-profit agencies; as an editor and publisher of a nationally circulated membership newsletter; and over 20 years experience in business administration. She attended the University of Western Ontario where she studied science and history and has completed courses in Visual Basic programming, Cisco networking and routing and Technical Communications at St. Clair College in Windsor, Ontario.
