Karin has been the Webmaster at the church since 2004, however she has been involved in the church since the early 1990s in a variety of ways, including former choir director and music director. She still participates in the musical life of the church by playing special music and hymns some Sundays, and occassionally running the sound board for services or special musical events and concerts.
She hails from the U.S., becoming a Candian Citizen in 2006. Her background and work experience can roughly be divided into two categories: musician (trombone, piano and vocals) and computer professional (software trainer, database developer, website designer, desktop publisher, etc.). She has a MOUS (Microsoft Office User Specialist) Certification, and has been training computer software in Winnipeg since 2000.
When she took on the UU Winnipeg website she rewrote the entire site to make it more accessible, easier to maintain, and more functional. Among the many features of this new site was the separation of content and formatting by incorporating Cascading Style Sheets. In 2009 the website was again completely rebuilt, this time using Joomla! technology. 2010 saw a major face lift as a new "template" was applied to the site, and several new technologies incorporated, including photo galleries, streaming audio, blogs, PayPal, and an embedded Amazon site.
