Professional Summary

I am an award-winning, accredited (ABC) communications consultant with may years (believe me, MANY) in the communications field. My wide range of experience includes strategy development, implementation and evaluation, client relations, crisis communications, internal communications, extensive media relations, Web 2.0 and social media, event management and marketing. I'm proud to have been named one of the top "40 Under 40" public relations professionals in the United States by PRWeek in 2007.

Educated as an economist, I trained to be an actress but concentrated on building a career as a professional communicator once I relocated to the United States from India. A self-confessed animal "nut," I currently live and work in the Washington, D.C., area with my husband John, and three rescued dogs (Chuck, Suzy Q. and Lola).

A week ago today, I spoke to Marshall Sponder for the very first time. I was quite excited, because I've been following his blog for ages.
I mean, when you spell "measurement geek," you are really spelling M-A-R-S-H-A-L-L-S-P-O-N-D-E-R."
That's how much into measurement he is!
Marshall and I have... more »

Every Day

Every day is the same.
The sun rises, the darkness recedes. Bird calls get louder and then fade as the roar of traffic takes over.
Your alarm clock goes off (or maybe your dog wakes you up), you begin your morning ablutions, you take the same route, you get to work.
It's another day.
Every day is... more »

Weekly Roundup: Begin Anywhere

I'm a little late in posting today's weekly roundup, because I just got back from an almost-2-mile walk with two of our dogs (and wondering whether handling a combined 115 lbs at the end of two leashes improves the quality of the walk…?).
So when I started combing through my Reader for good... more »

What Makes You, You?

A few days ago, Ann Bingley Gallops responded to one of my Triberr tweets that shared a blog post Patrick Reyes had sent out.
The post itself shared Nosh's quite innovative video that they use as part of their "404 Not Found" page. Ann said that "she thought it turned funny until it turned violent,"... more »

The Automation Debate

Guest post by Thom Holland
