Vernon Fowler
Web Analyst / eLearning Coordinator
I work as a Web Analyst in the Information & Research team on the http://www.adin.com.au/ website.
In my other job I deliver and participate in professional development related to (e)learning English as a Second Language. I also teach ESL to adults, especially English for Academic Purposes.
In free time, I work on WordPress and BuddyPress projects for small businesses, education and non-profit organisations.
On vacations, I like to travel abroad and eat icecream.
