*NOTE: this is a re-published blog from a piece I wrote on ZoomTilt’s blog. _____________________________ A colleague of mine has been buzzing about her latest gig for the past few months now. Her email announcement that she landed a role on a new series created by the one-and-only-one, Jenji Kohan was super exciting both for […]
I recently upgraded to LinkedIn Premium, a move that my start-up and grad school colleagues didn’t quite understand. Why would I pay for something when there is a free version of it available? As someone who prides themselves in being a solid networker I truthfully wanted to know who was checking me out. If you […]
This week I started full-time for the summer with ZoomTilt, the Boston based start up that I have been working with for a little under a year now. As the “Manager of Brand and Community Relations” I am responsible for all things that include communications to our internal and external communities; basically the public relations […]
Ah, here it is. The Summer of 2013. For me, this summer, as most summers are that have passed, is going to be about organization and productivity.

Ah, it is here. Valentine’s Day. My least favorite holiday. And yes, that is because I am one of those bitter people. But I am also pretty sure that it also has to do with the fact that “love” this really overly complicated feeling is somehow positioned to be a tangible, purchasable thing on this […]
I consider myself a small social media guru. I manage several Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, I network through the #hashtag and LinkedIn tells me my profile is 98% complete. I have over 1,200 friends; 500 followers; I’m in several dozens of circles and I’m connected to at least 300. These are small numbers I know […]
