About me
Hi! This is the online home of Gabriela Avram.
If you’d like to label me:
The Tipping Point calls my kind of people Connectors; others called us “knowledge brokers” or “boundary spanners”. I get a sort of thrill when it occurs to me that the person I’m talking to seems to have a common interest with someone else I know (or heard of), or could be interested in a particular resource or method or tool I know of.
My different hats:
- I work as a lecturer at the University of Limerick in Ireland, teaching several modules on the DMD and MMPT programmes at UL.
- I am a researcher focusing on Social Media and Enterprise 2.0 -related topics. Between 2005 and 2008 I was involved in a project studying collaborative work practices in distributed software development. I am fortunate to work in the Interaction Design Centre and to be part of a hard working team that feels like a big (and crazy!) family to me.
- I am a social media fan & early adopter and occasionally provide advice to companies – big and small- on how they could benefit from using social software tools.
- I enjoy working as both online and face-to-face facilitator.
My violon d’Ingres:
- complementary therapies.

Dear Gabriela
remember, we met in Brussels at an evaluation exercise (I’m the half Irish/German living in Holland). I am in Ireland at the moment with my family and we will be going to Limerick for the weekend. Was wondering if you are around then – but from your blog I gather you’re off to Germany? If you happen to have time and are still in Limerick mail me and we could go for a walk or whatever

Hey Gabriela! Hello from Toronto!
Thank you for your messages via F…book….I must confess that I’m still not sure I want to use this social networking device…when you have a moment, would you please respond to this message via my email address?
blessings to you,
