Trainer, Author, Speaker, Technical Writer, Consultant, Immersive Learning advocate at CallahanTech

Callahan has been a technical trainer since the mid-1990s. She became an MCT in 1999, and is a SharePoint MVP Alumni. She has published books about administering SharePoint Foundation and Windows SharePoint Services, coauthored books about Windows Server 2003, 2003 R2, 2008, Windows Vista, SharePoint Server 2013, and associated Microsoft Courseware. She's spoken at events far and wide, from user groups and SharePoint Saturdays, to Ignite and Windows Connections in the US, to European conferences like SEF Forum in Sweden. She has specialized in custom courses for businesses of all sizes for decades, filling in those gaps of instruction not covered by Microsoft's own official curriculum. Right now, she's exploring bold new worlds in the Immersive Learning space. Callahan frequently advises companies on the best immersive platform for their needs. She gives tours in VR, writes onboarding and first touch instructions, as well as simply evangelizes and advocates for immersive collaboration, communication, and socialization. Allowing user autonomy and exploration has proven to increase confidence and ownership of new information with less distraction than traditional, passive lecture/screenshare remote learning models. It is a natural next step to remote meetings that *does not* require a headset to enjoy the experience (she herself doesn't use a headset).
