Thirty minutes into the interview I was hired to direct marketing and outreach, and was whisked off to the first project meeting. During the meeting’s introductions, everyone laughed when they realized how brand new I was. The project I had been launched into was Philly Play, a pilot program for a city-wide initiative aimed at encouraging […]
I never expected these questions to provoke such interesting answers. I thought I’d just get some quick responses, mostly stuff I had already heard before. Three hours later I was amazed at the depth I found. Where did you grow up? What was your childhood like? Up until I was six I lived in Canada. […]
I’m a weirdo. I actually like public speaking. Sure, it’s a challenge, but one that offers so much if you can conquer it. A couple years ago I balked at the public speaking requirement in college, frustrated that I’d have to move out of my online classroom environment and attend a real live class. Thankfully I […]

The pride and fear are at about the same level. After years of zillow-ing home values while watching the DIY network I finally have my own. I was informed by my agent that I had, what they refer to as “zing,” for this house. In other words, a giddy feeling that’s not necessarily based on […]
It’s always a little nerve wracking to go see improv comedy. If I take someone to see a show of any kind, I sneak little looks their way, hoping to see signs of enjoyment. It’s probably creepy, but theater means so much to me that when I bring someone new to it, I’m definitely crossing […]
