Ellen DePasquale

I love software and helping people, and as Regional Development Director, NY Metro NorthEast at Constant Contact I get to help people learn how to use our products every day!

I have been a computer consultant and trainer for 20 years. Efficient Office Computing was my most recent business venture and I was able to deliver my experience and expertise online as well as in person.

In December 2009 I published my first book, It's About Time: Time Management Tips From The Software Revitalist™. Click here to read more about it!

My consulting, training, and writing were based on lessons I learned and strategies I developed over the past 20+ years of computer experience!

These lessons live on during my Constant Contact presentations where I am able to use my real-world examples to continue to help small businesses learn how to use technology as a tool for growth!
