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

One hit wonders in the workplace: From the delightful to the utter bore of slacktivism The other day while driving to some weekend activity, I heard several one hit wonders on the radio. Eagle Eye Cherry’s Save Tonight came on as did Jacob Dylan’s One Headlight. I […]
Excitedly awaiting the arrival of the new year for it will not be meek: Happy Chrismukkah Growing up Puerto Rican in the South Bronx meant that Christmas time was a time of coquito (a rum Puerto Rican eggnog-like concoction), parrandas (caroling with maracas, drums and guitars) and family […]
