Domi Sinclair is a Learning Technologist at University College, London. This role requires her to advise educators on the use of a range of technology-enhanced learning solutions including social media and collaboration platforms such as Prezi. She has an undergraduate degree in Journalism and a Master's degree in Media, both of which required her to use innovative platforms and hone her presentation skills. It was through this desire to stand out during presentations that she first discovered the Prezi platform, and she has been utilizing it ever since. She has presented at a number of national and international conferences on both sides of the Atlantic. She always favors using the Prezi platform to compliment face-to-face presentations and has converted a number of her team's shared presentations from PowerPoint to Prezi. Domi has authored the book, Instant Prezi for Education How-to, Packt Publishing, which was released last year.
