I'll be the first one to admit I live in a zone of comfort. Comfort has driven most of my life decisions, leading me to where I am today. I like the familiar, I like when things are easy, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. But I very rarely challenge myself. Allllllll the way…
I graduated from college with a degree in advertising, a minor in journalism, and a concentration in new media. There was no doubt that I was going to work in some sort of communications role. At the time, I had no idea what. All I knew is I wanted to work in the non profit…

When I was a kid, my dad would watch Jeopardy after work and it was like he knew every answer. I often wondered how he just knew everything. And as I get older, I see all these people around me who are so smart and filled with knowledge, and I wonder how they know so…
While job interviewing is grueling, it is cool to see how interview styles differ from person to person, from company to company. One of the best questions I was asked was: what have you learned recently?

Now that I have been traveling more often, I think it's time that I learn a language other than English. I took one Spanish class for a year once and one French class for a year once and did pretty poorly in each. I took Italian for three years in high school and was pretty…
I think there is a lot of pressure to be happy.
