Web enthusiast and content delivery nerd
Washington D.C. Metro Area
I have a wide range of experience in web content strategy, project management, and account management.
I am passionate about the way the Internet alters the way individuals and companies relate to one another, whether by blurring the lines between content creators and content consumers, or by making information more widely available to the people who need it most. It's not just about blogging, or Facebook, or Twitter, it's about communication and information transfer in all its forms, and this is an exciting time.

I co-founded and contribute to a personality-driven website about life in the nation's capital. I manage the editorial calendar, wrangling my fellow writers to ensure an even distribution of content.

I take all the information APhA produces for its publications and other products and rearrange, reorganize, and reengineer it into web-readiness. I develop, implement, and enforce Internet communications policies. I educate my colleagues about best practices, social media, and why you should never use the phrase "click here."

July 2005 — July 2007 (2 years 1 month)
At MPOJ, I provide advice, anecdotes, and irreverent commentary about workplace and professional development issues. Resume blunders, the ridiculous thing that happened at my office this morning, trends and fads in recruitment and hiring, it's all fair game.
It should, of course, go without saying that the opinions expressed are neither sanctioned by, nor do they represent the opinions of, my employer.
