Virginia Ramunda-Marty

IT and Communications Support

The latest addition to the MORE Network to help with Information Technology (I.T.) administration, user support and Communications. Originally from Argentina, Virginia is very outgoing and loves to chat with anybody and get to know people. She believes in the power of sharing different opinions to achieve a more encompassing truth and in the value of humor. Virginia has a couple of university degrees in Computer Sciences including teaching... thing she's passionate about, since she loves empowering people!!!

She also likes hugging and kissing on the face as a way of greeting sooo.... keep your distance!

 

In her own words:

 

Preferences:
Other things I like are what North-Americans call "geeky stuff" like, Astronomy, Physics, Math, Optics and, of course, Video-games! (non-violent ones thou). I also LOVE Photography, Music, Dancing, Singing, and my latest love: GOD! Yup: I consider myself still a new Christian and I think I'm -finally!- at the beginning of the GREATEST adventure of my life, which is to get to know the greatest Super Geeky Mind in the Universe, the Inventor of all the Laws of Physics, designer of color frequencies and optic cones to capture them, PLUS THE First Programmer ever and the magnificent coder behind cells and evolution!  Hear me loud and clear: Yahweh ROCKS! and I'm IN LOVE!!!

Location, location, location...
I live in British Columbia with my husband and children and I still CANNOT believe the amount of rain folks get in here... I've been told "it's normal" but this is NOT NORMAL... Therefore, "I ain't going out for a walk if it's raining" I'm not an earthworm so... forget it. You'll likely find me inside when the humidity level is above 90%... True.

I'm here for you not to hate technology
Now that you know who you are dealing with, If you have any issues logging in or using "techy" tools, LET ME KNOW. I SHOULD be able to help you out. ;)

Our Father's Love Letters
If you have any other issues, remember that "Bible" is also an acronym: "B.I.B.L.E: Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth."
