I started blogging in 1999 and has since been very active in the Social Media world. I am the Editor of Chicagonista and the Creator of City Connect Media, Inc. that owns and operates Chicagonista.com, NYMetropolista.com and hoping to launch more city sites on my list: San Franista, SoCalista, and Miaminista. I also expanded Chicagonista by making room for the successful-minded 20 something NextGen Chicagonista and recently partnered with Nancy Loo and created Young Chicagonista that is giving voice to young girls from 11-17 years old. In January of 2010 I started co-hosting with Chicagonista LIVE!, an online talk show on Chicago-centric issues with Nancy Loo, Duong Sheahan, and Beth Rosen.
In 2007 I was excited to be one of the panelists at Google – Moms Know Tech and since then has spoken in many other blogging conferences. I also am listed in “75 Top Twitter Tips from Today’s Small Business Moms” found in American Express OPEN / Small Business website. Just recently, I instructed “Hands on Small Business” – Social Media class series with Microsoft Office Live and Kirtsy. You can even find me in the CRAVE Chicago Book – The Urban Girl’s Manifesto that listed 125 women you need to know.
Besides blogging, I'm a tweeting, facebooking, foursquaring, stumbleupon-ing, digging, kirtsying (and all other Social Networking stuff) Chicagonista, who also writes for ChicagoMomsBlog.com, Centerd.com and is a member of the Yahoo Mother Board group who are tech-savvy moms that write on a gamut of parenting issues with Yahoo.
