Livin' la vida loca! I love creating insightful and empowering career and job search articles but switching gears, entertainment reporting puts a spring in my step! Love red carpets and celebrity interviews.It's no surprise that I frequently lean into my passion, careers, and ask notable names and industry titans about their own careers.I've interviewed Madonna, Derek Jeter, Judy Blume, Matt Damon, Gloria Steinem (four times!), Michael J. Fox, Angelina Jolie, Sheryl Sandberg to name a few and countless talent, along with my heroes: Producers, screenwriters & directors.Passionate about writing and honing my craft, I'm a regular contributor to Monster, U.S. News & World Report, Forbes, Huffington Post and the @work section of The New York Post. I'm an event reporter for New York Magazine and I also write for The Chicago Tribune, Success.com and more outlets.Previously, I've written for AOL Jobs, OK! Magazine, Time Out New York, Cosmo for Latinas and many more pubs including my one of my favorites, the now defunct College Bound Teen Magazine.From '07 - '09 I was the editorial director at CollegeRover.com and as a freelance publicist in '04 and '07 I worked with start-ups powered by entrepreneurial women.

As a recruiting manager for McGraw-Hill financial services, I connected candidates to hiring managers within research and analytics.http://www.mcgraw-hill.com/site/careers(Technically I was employed by The Right Thing, an ADP Company, and my client was McGraw-Hill Financial. I sat at the client site and recruited solely for them.)10/13 -- I resigned in order to rock out to one colorful career consulting path instead of two which, quite honestly, was exhausting. It wasn't uncommon for me to wake up at 4:30 a.m., write my columns, head into the office by 7:15 am, head home by 7 pm, answer emails that night and continue the cycle the next morning.When candidates I had to turn down continuously asked for feedback and I was unable to give it to them, I knew my purpose in life was bigger than filling reqs. It's empowering people to reach their fullest potential and catapulting organizations to get the most out of their employees.At long last, my heart and head are finally where I belong: Sharing my purpose in life and talent on a bigger platform. Look out!

As a very early morning blogger cranking out five pieces within three hours, during my daily shift I was responsible for selecting the top celeb/entertainment news stories of the day, writing and self-editing them, creating clickable headlines, working with attorneys for approval, and selecting appropriate photos. I also worked with social media - yes, you guessed it - Twitter and Facebook - to promote the articles. I am proficient in WordPress and Drupal.During this time I occasionally conducted ground reporting for the deputy editor as needed and also contributed to Reality Weekly Magazine (a new venture by AMI, parent company of OK!), by researching / reporting.(This was a freelance role.)

As a recruiting manager for Deloitte (contract role), I connected operations (i.e., admin, hoteling, etc.) candidates to hiring managers in the northeast. This was a high volume recruiting role.

As a voice to the media, I rock out to speaking about the importance of education and the efficiency/ease of earning an online degree.ClassesUSA.com is part of Experian InteractiveSM and is a leading online higher-education portal. Each month, more than 2 million adults visit the site, which boasts more than 300 accredited college and university partners.(Freelance role.)

I was an experienced hire recruiter in the northeast for economics and valuation services tax technology, and international corporate tax. In addition, as the national lead I worked with national leadership for two groups: economics and val. services (EVS) and tax technology. During this time I received nine Encore Awards (ad hoc recognition/bonus program) for excellent performance.www.kpmgcareers.com

Prior to joining the recruiting organization in May 2005, I was a global mobility manager from 2000 - 2005 during which time I worked a stint in London in addition to managing operations of the group and a team of five people. Prior to that I was a global mobility coordinator 1997 - 98 and specialist 98 - 00 conducting orientations and managing compensation packages, working with payroll, internal HR, etc. for staff level employees through partners and their international assignments within KPMG.As a manager, primary responsibilities were managing internal processes and procedures as they relate to international secondments, managing the recruiting process for secondments, managing vendors, and various projects.

In training, I was responsible for course logistics and coordination of 300 internal training programs per year.

College Rover, an online startup similar to ClassesUSA, hired me as their editorial director. As the editrix and starting with the company from the ground floor, I created content in alignment with its core mission and four distinct demographics.I created the editorial calendar, managed freelance writers and diligently edited their work in four different platforms (12 articles / month) until the company dissolved.(This was a freelance role in case you're wondering why the dates overlap with other gigs. Yes, I'm really that good at multi-tasking!)
