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.

Rabbit, Rabbit on this Labor Day: May you be productive but balanced Rabbit, rabbit. Ok. Had to get that out of the way. Ever since boarding school I have said “rabbit, rabbit” every morning the first day of the month. I didn’t really dig into the […]
Mirror, Mirror no longer on the wall: How will I know I am the fairest of them all?
Mirror, Mirror no longer on the wall: How will I know I am the fairest of them all? The psychological end of summer is here and it is time to take stock of a few things? Did we look good in that bathing suit? Did we […]
A Satisficer I am not: No pain, No Gain indeed
A Satisficer I am not: No pain, No Gain indeed In graduate school, I did a series of research studies on surveys. More specifically, I studied how to improve the self-report methodology so that one can get more “accurate” data from questionnaires. Yes, I know. Ho […]
Catching the sun rise to dispel the evil spirits: My Puerto Rican Superstition
Catching the sun rise to dispel the evil spirits I am a mega early-bird. I’m up early and full of energy to get things done. I think in part, that early-bird DNA I have comes from wanting to get up and share my dreams early on in the […]
