Theresa D’Aiuto Sokol, Editor and Digital Producer, was an opera singer and music teacher in a career that lasted over forty years. She sang in Germany, Austria, Italy, Belgium, the U.S. and in the far east and is an accomplished stage director. Her production credits include regional opera and theater companies as well as USF where she was Opera Director and Professor of Voice. After retiring from her performing and teaching career, she found that video and web editing offered a natural extension of her creative interests. She is Editor and Digital Producer of OLLI Connects and is a site editor for OLLI’s USF website. She also edits and creates marketing and special interest videos for OLLI. Theresa holds degrees from Manhattanville College in New York and USF and is fluent in German and French.
Al Carlson, Editor, enjoyed a 40-year career as a Librarian in California, Okinawa, and Florida, specializing in “new technology that doesn’t quite work yet”. When retirement got boring, he joined OLLI-USF in hopes of learning new things and meeting interesting people. The results exceeded his expectations! He is the Co-editor of OLLI Connects, moderates Zoom classes, participates in editing the OLLI-USF website, creates instructional videos and, despite having moved to North Carolina, still feels closely connected to the OLLI-USF community.
