Francoise Frigola graduated from the University of Aix-Marseille, France, in Computer Science and Business Administration in 1968.  In 1974, she accepted a research position in the United States.  Her corporate career incorporated research, computer architecture, software development, documentation, customer support, as well as many levels of management.

She acquired her first PC in 1982 and has stayed in touch with the technology ever since.

She made her home on the Hill in 1993 and volunteers her various skills to several community organizations such as IAHS, Idyllwild Help Center, and Spirit Mountain Retreat.

Francoise prides herself on her ability to teach the most unlikely computer owner how to use and maintain his or her computer.

An internationally exhibited artist, Françoise now creates most of her artwork with her computer, a skill she loves to share.
