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 am a Co-Founder of the Navigators Guild. We help guide Social Benefit Organizations to use New Media for Social Good. (Stay Tuned for all the info!)
- 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 Co Organizer for the Chicago Net Tuesday Group. We meetup about the convergence of Innovation, Technology and Social Change every month on (you guessed it) the SecondTuesday of every month. (get it? NetSquared, NetTuesday??)
- I am a moderator for the 501 Tech Club of Chicago.(get it? 501 Tech, 501(c)3? )
Who I Am Personally
- I am a nerd. in fact, according to the very credible What Kind Of Nerd Are You test, i am: 65 % Nerd, 52% Geek, 35% Dork, or a Cool Modern Nerd
- 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!
Yours, Kara C @karitas
