Lindsay's other half
I have a geek streak. I'm geekier than any of my friends or family. I'm a problem solver and can fix things. I love planning trips (or helping friends plans theirs!). Put me on the road and I'm happy. I read alot: fiction, non-fiction, tech, business, health, and fashion magazines, newspapers. I don't like TV, but I love film.

I get up early every morning to do Pilates or yoga because it makes me feel like I'm still the gymnast I once was.  I ride my bicycle to my office every day and after work you might find me at the local circus school practicing my trapeze skills. I'm always in the mood for good food and wine. I need to have many projects at once, personal or professional, or I'll bore quickly.

I have a thing for languages and I want to learn more. I speak Spanish, I'm studying Portuguese, and Italian is next. I went through Army Basic Training once. Dogs are my favorite animals, even though I am allergic, and my first pet was a hermit crab named Hermy (how creative!). I wish I had more artistic talent, but I'm convinced my sister inherited that gene.

About this blog
I decided to start this blog to explore my professional world - public relations, communications, recruiting, career advice, etc.; however, this is a personal blog. The views and opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of Paradigm Staffing or anybody else unless explicitly stated.

Also, my thoughts and opinions change as I learn more and develop my understanding about the things and issues that write about. I consider this a necessary consequence of having an open mind and I hope to explore this more through my blog and dialogue with my readers. This blog just provides a snapshot of the knowledge, views, and opinions that I hold at a particular point of time and these very well may change over a period of time.
