Woodland Hills, California, United States Email: teresa_elms@yahoo.com After earning an M.S. in cognitive psychology from Carnegie Mellon University in 1976, I worked in the computer industry as a programmer and MIS manager, then as a trade magazine reporter and editor, before founding a small market research company specializing in computer economics in the 1990s. During the ten years I operated that business, I served clients such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Digital Equipment, Xerox, StorageTek, EMC, and many others as principle investigator on some 35 research projects. Along the way, I've garnered more than 500 publication credits -- mostly articles in computer trade magazines, but also including numerous market research reports and six books on computing, communications, and computer economics topics. In addition, I've been a public speaker for many years and taught courses in marketing for three years at UCSD Extension.
Currently, I work as a technical writer for a software change management company in the Los Angeles area. This work involves me with computer-aided change management systems, workflow management tools, and computer-mediated communication on a daily basis. Web 2.0, anyone? Interests: Nonfiction: Linguistics, history of technology and urbanization, archaeology, information economics, chaos theory, change management, psychology.
Fiction: SF, historical mysteries.
