Hi. I'm Zanbabe. My name in real life is Suzanne.

My most common nicknames are Zanne, or Z

I was most recently a Program Design Manager over the Technology courses for an online college. It doesn't pay as well as Technical Writing, but being back in Education was refreshing. I really like feeling like I can make the learning experience better for people. Which is the same as I feel here. WikiAnswers is like a huge knowledge base. I learn a lot here, and I hope others do as well. I like the idea of a place where we are all teaching and learning together.

I was a college professor for quite a few years. My favorite class to teach was Science Fiction. We had a LOT of fun in that class... and I love the genre. I also love teaching poetry. Not that I didn't love my other subjects (writing, ethics, etc.), but those two subjects were the most fun.

Reading is one of my favorite pastimes. I also like to play board and card games... I like going to the game store and buying new games to try out with my friends.

I went on a Mission for my church (Mormon/LDS) to Montana and Wyoming. Since I grew up in Denver, the small-town life was almost like visiting a different country. :) It gave me an appreciation for the unique challenges faced by rural communities.

I do a scripture of the day list if anyone wants to tune in: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LDS_Daily_Scripture

I have degrees in English and Adult Education, and was a Psychology major for a while too. I love WikiAnswers because I get to philosophize and feel like I am helping people at the same time. :)
