THE TIME HAS COME! I have begun applying for nonprofit faculty jobs. I am super excited about this process and anxiously awaiting what is to come. My faculty advisors and mentors have been very helpful to me during this process. They have provided me with feedback, encouragement, and awesome reference letters to include in my [...]

I rarely write personal posts about my life but I think its fitting on Valentines day to give a snap shot of the other side of my life–my personal life. I’ve been married for 8 years to a wonderful man. My marriage is not your average marriage. I see my husband 3 days of the [...]

Yesterday was a normal day of work for me until my friend and colleague posted a U Tube video on Facebook. Normally I ignore politics and political shows because I usually get stuck in the middle of a political tug of war between family and friends. This time was no different because Glen Beck was [...]

As many of you read in my post last month I had quite a transformational summer and I’ve being doing a lot of introspection lately. Last week when I arrived in DC for the Nonprofit HR Conference and sat down for a delightful dinner with my dear colleague Rosetta Thurman, she inspired me and reminded [...]

Last month I attended and volunteered at the PEO international convention here in San Diego. Over 3,000 women traveled from all over the US and Canada to come to this convention.

On top of that I have finals this week. With all these work and school deadlines, everything else seems to go by the [...]

Today I am not writing about nonprofit leadership. Today was a particularly challenging day for me because I said goodby to my cat Prince–he was only 2 years old. Prince became sick about 3 months ago and although we tried to help him, the move was to much for him to handle and he became [...]

I’m back in the Bay Area this week and training my replacement here at Aspiration. I have been so busy I didn’t notice I got “tagged” by Rosetta Thurman on August 1. Now I’m supposed to share 8 random facts about me. Here are the rules, these are taken straight from Rosetta’s tag post. “1) [...]

I haven’t really understood the popularity of social networking tools until now. I did create profiles on Friendster, Linkedin, and My Space and I do like how I can see what my colleagues are up to on Linkedin and connect with all my High School friends on My Space, but aside from that I haven’t [...]
