Leya has marketing background and knew little about IT until she
started working at an internet company two years ago. It was in their
IT department that she was first exposed to the acronyms and complexity
of high-tech lingo. After struggling to conform, or at least get
through meetings without looking up words in the dictionary, Leya
finally decided to blog about the frustrations of being a mid-tech girl
in a very high-tech, fast paced world. Faced with the inevitability of
co-worker laughter at the jargon Leya didn't understand, she chose to
laugh at herself instead via blogging! Pseudo-named, The Russian
Stamp, there are occasional hockey references and other Russian side
notes in her blog...(GO SHARKS!!) Besides blogging, she enjoys
traveling and is always planning her next adventure. She is also back
in school working on her MBA because her Russian parents said,
"bachelor degree OK, but nu??? Vhere is masters??" Leya's family
works in the tech industry and she is glad to finally have something to
contribute to dinner table discussions. Leya blogs to encourage her
other technically challenged co-workers to join in spirit...if you
can't beat em', blog about it!
