Flight Attendant. Lawyer. Cardiologist. Poet. Journalist. I've changed my mind numerous times since I was a kid about what I wanted to be when I grow up. I still haven't quite figured it out yet, but the one thing I haven't changed my mind about is how much I love to write. Writing is my passion. I can tell you how I feel with as little or as many words as I choose. I can write silly poems, paint you a story, and sell you dreams.
I went to college thinking I was going be the next Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, so I studied communications and media arts, journalism, and creative writing and worked on the college newspaper at Westchester Community College and the creative arts magazine at Baruch College. At the same time, my interest in social media and marketing grew as my job experiences widened from sales to telefundraising and from advising to promoting study abroad programs and coordinating events. In an effort to maximize my degree and what I've learned, I went back to school for a masters in integrated marketing communication at Marist College, and I learned so much! Now, I just want to put my newly gained knowledge to action, and continue expanding my skill set by doing something I love: writing, editing, creating internal and external content for a great organization, and/or managing their social media accounts.

AN ONLY-in-New York-partnership is about to create an $80 million miracle for residents of East Harlem - a spanking new school and homes that won't break the bank.

Their voices were everything you'd expect from a group of youngsters who hail from a place called the Heights.

An impressive array of unique and colorful artworks from 26 women artists in Washington Heights and Inwood is now on display at the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance.

The Irish - like people from Africa - first crossed the Atlantic Ocean as slaves. Now, two historians are coming to Harlem before St. Patrick's Day to retrace those and other parallels, which have often gone unrecognized.

When the tenants of three Washington Heights' apartment buildings saw the "turn-off service" letter from Con Edison on Jan. 28, they ignored it. Then, on Feb. 12, the power was shut down for two weeks, leaving them cold and in the dark in the middle of winter.
Gift bags: we've all gotten at least one before. Or given one in return for birthdays, holidays or just to say "Thank you". For us average Joes, the typical gift bags usually include simple and inexpensive items and even the most luxurious package is relatively affordable.
The soft chime of the bell as the door opens and outgoing customers squeeze to let others in is a familiar scene for the pharmacists behind the counter of Sure Drugs in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Still thriving after 29 years of operation, the new owner worries whether the store's strong local following will enable it to survive growing economic pressures and strong competition.
