I am fortunate enough to have voluntarily joined the ranks of the funemployed as of November 2009, and have since been able to add a few new skills to my repertoire as a jill-of-all-trades.  My domain expertise originally spanned all things tech, as well as personal training and group exercise (I have my certification for 4+ years now).   Recently, I’ve developed an interest in video editing, inspired by my friend Amy, and knack for California Lottery scratchers.  I hope to add a few new things to the list, and while doing so, documenting it all on video!

In a previous lifetime I was employed as a User Interface Designer and Product Manager in San Francisco. My work included everything between the user and the software developers: Discovery, Requirements Analysis, User Interface and Interaction Design and Product Management. I finished my Masters at the School of Information at the University of California at Berkeley in May 2007, and also completed the Management of Technology Certificate Program at the Haas School of Business. Before moving to the Bay Area, I earned my B.S. in Systems Engineering from the University of Virginia, and earned a reputation for building student organizations over a variety of different interests (primary Jewish social activities, snowboarding and greek life).

I also like…

• …to cook
• …to be active (I’m an AFAA certified Personal Trainer and Group Exercise Instructor – more about that here)
• …to travel, alone or with others (paris, maui, colombia, jordan, turkey, israel)
• …to spend time with my friends and family
• …to be creative, silly, spontaneous, and young.
• …to laugh at myself, a lot!
• …to take everything way too seriously and not seriously at all, at the same time.

As always, you can read some of my musings on my blog, check out my design portfolio, and feel free to contact me by email.
