About

I am a Learning Designer/Curriculum Developer/Educational Technology Consultant. (I teach people how to teach things.) My hometown is Baytown, Texas and I currently live in Galveston, Texas. I travel extensively and have also lived in Marina Del Rey, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and Los Angeles California, as well as Austin, Texas and Wellington, New Zealand.

I've been following the Ubuntu project for over a year. I was drawn into the project by the potential to use Ubuntu in education and learning environments. For the past decade I've been involved in creating innovative learning solutions for everyone from preschoolers to astronauts. You can view my resume for lots of wordy details at http://www.belindalopez.com/cv.html

I am known as "Dinda" by my Grandmother. When I was a wee child I could not pronounce my own name so I deemed myself dinda and the nickname remains.

Spent the past eight months teaching myself everything I can learn about F/OSS, Ubuntu and ways to be involved in the community.

I'm in the process of transitioning myself from my current consulting role to a "F/OSS" educational consultant. I'm hoping to start promoting Ubuntu in several local school districts.
