I am a creator of award-winning websites. Literally, alorica.com just won a prestigious award (for its News Center, but still!). For my job, I also make various other websites, which will never win awards but serve their purpose. In my very first job, my boss/mentor told me “you design websites for the Lowest Common Denominator.…

Shopping Research List: Commuter Bike
I’ve had ridiculously bad bike luck of late. I’m sure y’all remember Snaccident 2014, in which I crashed my (mom’s) red Gary Fisher into a parked car due to snacking while biking, ripping open my knee and busting their headlight. Cool. So to replace said red Gary Fisher, I headed to Surf City Cyclery, and…
Weighing in on Equal Pay Day
I missed Equal Pay Day last week because it was a different important day for me to discuss, but let’s hit it up now. Top of mind all the time and all. First: Then, check it: theskimm.com’s Guide to Equal Pay. And finally:

My little brother in forbes.com! And on their podcast! Read! Download! Listen! (don’t worry, I bossed him around all our lives too)

I take being a female and boss in the corporate world seriously. Here are two incredibly different but equally important articles: Women Entrepreneurs: #WhatWeNeedtoSucceed link: en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/direct2dell/b/direct2dell/archive/2016/11/01/a-letter-to-the-next-president-on-behalf-of-women-entrepreneurs Director Level, what it takes to make it to this level
NBPL | The Witte Lectures 2017
I deeply, deeply love libraries, so much so that I’ve joined the Newport Beach Public Library—even after they denied me a library card three years ago because I didn’t bring a bill with me to verify my address (oh, Newport). You too can become a member. Young patron membership is a mere $35. And if…
I Live My Job | Feel Good Friday 060316
Posting on Instagram, I accidentally typed #ilivemyjob instead of #ilovemyjob. Right now, both are true. I work for a company that is acquiring another company, doubling us in size, including number of employees, revenue, locations, clients, everything. It’s exciting, awesome, and stressful. I am proud. I am stressed. I am learning so. damn. much. It’s the coolest…
Compliment or Insult: Catfish Edition
Probably because I am a true faux celeb, I was recently the victim—and I do NOT use this word lightly—of some identity theft via someone creating a fake Facebook account with my photos and trolling some Land Rover forums. Facebook was extremely unhelpful in taking down this profile, and it still exists today. Only by…
