About Shiryl
I have worked as a developer, tester, analyst, project manager and process improvement specialist for three large insurance and financial companies for 30+ years. I have trained employees on the use of many applications, including Microsoft Windows and Word. I have a Bachelor of Science in Correctional Counseling, and a Master of Science in Business Computer Information Systems.
In my last position, I was a member of the organization's Software Engineering Process Group (SEPG), whose job was to train and assess project teams in practices to improve their information technology projects. I was also the product owner for a Document Configuration Management system using SharePoint, where I defined requirements, worked with the developers on implementing the requirements, tested the system, worked on the production implementation, and trained the project managers on its features.
Finally, I am the go-to person for my friends and family when they have questions related to technology, and I would like to be that person for you! I'm enthusiastic about technology and helping others understand how they can make better use of the tools they use every day, but I will do it in an easy way to make things less complex for you.
UPDATE: I recently recorded an Excel training course, "Excel Formulas & Functions Course: From Basics to Automation". If you're interested, please copy the link below and paste it into your browser address bar: (concealed information)

There are so many things that technology can do for us, but if you don't understand how to use it, you won't reap its benefits.
My lessons will cover:
- Understanding the keyboard, both physical and touchscreen, on laptops, desktops, tablets and smartphones
- Using shortcut keys on laptops/desktops
- Installing and using applications on laptops, desktops, tablets and smartphones
- Anything YOU want to know about!
IMPORTANT NOTE: I DO NOT DO TUTORING ON APPLE DEVICES. My primary focus is on Microsoft Windows laptops/desktops, Google Chromebooks, and Android tablets/smartphones.
