Karitas

Hi! my name is Kara Carrell..

I'm learning how i can spread out into lots of arenas where my passions lie... looking for guides and company.

i work for Interfaith Youth Core, as an office manager. this has given me quite the array of experiences in the Chicago nonprofit world, as well as the Nonprofit Tech world. i am what you may call an Accidental Techie, for IFYC, but in no way has my excitement for Geeky things been an accident. ever since i was young, and my dad got a computer from a friend at work i've been teaching myself how all things geek work. from Dos, Zork and BBS', to the twitters and Vocalo's of today, I enjoy keeping myself, and everyone around me, informed about whats out there that anyone can take advantage of to further their mission, goals, or musings.

I am a part of Nonprofit Technology Network's 501 Tech Club of Chicago, and am a Co-Organizer of NetSquared's NetTuesday group.

I will also be launching a site called SocialChicago.org that brings together all the great things happening in the Tech/Social Media/Social Change scene here in Chicago!

if you see me, please say hi!
