I love to travel, try new foods (both simple and "exotic"), ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. Im a big pop culture junkie who isnt afraid to say she loves "In Touch" Magazine! A social marketing expert and psychologist by training who works in the public health field trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
All the world is my television and I like to provide commentary on it.
Cheers

It finally happened: I have a pink Taser and I know how to whistle Year upon year, I always put “pink taser” on my Christmas wish list. No one ever gets me one because they are afraid that I would indeed use it. Even more […]
Controlling the nerves even when sad When I got on a plane from New York to Spain when I was 16 I was nervous. I was scared of how I would fit in and how I would make my way there on my own. I boarded the […]
Fear and Loathing in San Francisco Let me get two things out of the way right away. I am a die-hard New Yorker and this is my second time moving to the San Francisco Bay area. When I lived out here over ten years ago, I had […]
Walking the extra hill in San Francisco I like efficient shortcuts as a general rule of thumb. I think most people could agree with such a statement and point of view. “Work smarter” is the hot mantra these days in the workforce circles that is repeated […]
