I’ve worn many hats in the nearly 70 years of my life, and I’ve always been drawn to challenges that allow me to learn and grow. Now, in my senior years, I’m passionate about giving back. I’ve seen friends and loved ones struggle to understand the technology that I once took for granted.

As I embarked on this journey, it became clear to me that for seniors to truly benefit from technology, they must first learn to use it safely. This realization led me to focus primarily on online security.

Seniors are increasingly targeted by online criminals who seek to exploit them. According to Elder fraud complaints to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (or IC3) increased by 14% in 2023, and associated losses increased by about 11%, according to IC3’s 2023 Elder Fraud Report, released April 30.  , the dangers are real and growing.

With my deep fascination for technology, I have accumulated knowledge that I’m eager to share. My goal is to empower you to confidently navigate the digital world.

All I ask is that you believe in your ability to understand the topics taught here. Your age does not limit you! If you need a little motivation, I recommend watching this video on internalized ageism.
