ABOUT
My name is Jennifer and I am a thirty-something mother of two who is working adamantly to hold it together while juggling a career, marriage, life and young boys. I am a modern DIGITAL GAL living a modern DIGITAL LIFE.
Random obsessions include coffee, running, self-help books, Bible study, Pinterest and anything Latin. One day I dream of growing up to be Lara Croft. Why? Because she is a badass.
After surviving a fabulous and yet slightly insane 10-year stint in the Nashville music industry I now reside in the Baltimore / Washington D.C. Metro Area.
Where you can find me other than here:
- Want 2 Grow? – On social media, outreach, public relations, marketing, event planning, etc…
- Momz Share – Baltimore/Washington DC Metro area quarterly networking group that I founded with Lara DiPaola.
- Want2Dish.com – Mobile journalist for this hyper-local magazine in Frederick, MD.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME AS A WORKING MOM: I have over 15 years of experience as a public relations and marketing professional represented clients that ranged from small non-profits to national record labels, multi-platinum recording artists and their respective worldwide tours. (True, I swear!) I am also a social media and marketing consultant as well as contributing writer to various news outlets.
For the business minded – info on how you can engage other digital moms in the Baltimore/D.C. Metro region can be found at the Momz Share site.
OTHER NOT-SO-JUICY TIDBITS:
- My nickname is GiGi.
- I ran my first marathon in 2007, my second in 2009 and last year I ran the New York Marathon. In a moment of insanity I even tackled the Ragnar Relay in Washington, D.C. (181.2 miles. In the rain.) In the fall of 2011 I ran the Baltimore Marathon. Because, why not?
- Books are an lifelong obsession. Jane Eyre is my hero.
- I am an obsessive collector of quotes.
- I am a sucker for a good cause.
- I have a crush on Professor Snape.
- I once wanted to be an actress. Now I’m better.
- I quit Girl Scouts because it was “too hard.” Ironically, I made a fabulous Cub Scout Leader.
MY MANTRAS:
“Your life is an occasion. Rise to it.”– Mr. Magorium
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” - Philippians 4:13
