Patricia Carmel

Patricia Carmel, originally from London, UK, began her writing career as a journalist, transitioning to hi-tech as a technical communicator in the early 1990s. Revisiting journalism over 20 years later, Metro's Made in Israel column allows her to indulge her passion for all things techie while staying current with what's trending. When she’s not bonding with her five (and counting) grandchildren, she's volunteering as a medical clown, learning ukulele and writing short stories.

ON APRIL 18, the writer’s birthday, her granddaughter makes her a cake and the grandkids sing happy birthday from the other side of the garden fence.
