Welcome!
If you are at this page, you might have found me from the Twitterverse, and want to know a little more about me. Here are a few things you should know about how I roll on the interwebs:
Who I Am Professionally

- I was previously an Office Manager for the Interfaith Youth Core whose mission is to Inspire, Nurture, and Catalyze Interfaith Youth Leaders to promote Religious pluralism. But, I'm Rollin' On...
What I Do Passionately
- I am a Board Member for Project Vida. Project Vida is a Community Health Services Organization on the southwest neighborhood of Little Village serving the Black and Latina/o communities on the Southwest side of Chicago.

- I am a lesbian. i have a great girlfriend, @enuno, and i am a vocal supporter of equal rights, feminism, and androgeny!
- I am a cat owner. not totally unrelated to the point above. i have 2 cats, their names are Kittie (i call her Schmittie) and Puffkin (i call her MiniPuff)
- I am an IdeaFox! (just made this word up really...) but this is to say that i am an avid idea generator. if you ever need someone to think creatively about something, or just brainstorm... i LOVE IT! i will alpha test anything that i feel i would use, and tend to be an early adopter.
- I Am A Twitter Gangster.
- I am quite worldly. i love foreign language, cross cultural studies, rotary intl, world news services, international Telecom and Social Network industry news. and more music than i can fill the oceans with!
- I am a Nintendo Fan chica. i love video games, but most importantly, i love yoshi. me and Nintendo go way back, and i try to keep up with the amazing company (one day youll notice and hire me!!)
- I am a gadget girl. if you are looking to buy a new phone, or figure out how your new g1 works, hit me up!
- I am always trying to match people together, whether they are looking for ideas, company, tips, sites, etc.
- I am always looking for Grub Buddies
- My favorites list tends to be things i really LOL'ed at, things i need to remember, or things that i can reflect on.
- I obsessively use Exclamation marks, capitalize words at random, and ironically rarely capitalize i. Sorry grammar nerds!
- I am much more social Online than in real life (IRL), until i can determine how much of a nerd you are, then i am Uber Social!
- my most used words on twitter are w00t, Uber, Yeah, Love, and Goin, so to translate, i am an exciteable, and agreeable person, who expresses her feelings of love for lots of things, tells you where im goin, in the hopes that you will join!
So there's a little Fun Size version of how i roll, feel free to check out more posts on this blog, Tweet Me Up, or say hi at the next tweetup!
