Bio
I am delighted to be connected
to the Project for Integrating Spirituality, Law, and Politics.
Collaborating with the remarkable law professionals and
students who comprise this organization has renewed my faith
in the possibilities of the American justice system.
Besides attending Peter's
"Politics of Law" course at the New College of
California School of Law and his "Spiritual Interventions"
course at New College's School of Humanities, I have participated
in various publishing and literature courses at New College--and
these classes compete strongly for attention with my studies
at the University of San Francisco, where I'm enrolled in
the quite interesting (and somewhat tough) Master of Nonprofit
Administration program.
My current projects at New
College include helping to develop this website, assisting
with Peter's forthcoming New York University Press book,
and serving as Grants and Acquisitions Editor for the New
College Press.
I have also recently enjoyed
the extraordinary opportunity to serve as permissions editor
for "A Smithsonian Book of Comic-Book Stories,"
scheduled for publication by the Smithsonian Institution
Press in October 2004.
My background includes copywriting,
public relations, advertising sales, marketing, and management--mostly
for alternative newsweeklies--where I once enjoyed the suggestive
title of Corporate Romance Director. That role entailed
managing personal ad programs by planning and hosting singles
events, editing personal ads, crunching numbers, and designing
marketing campaigns for multiple classified advertising
products.
Determining how to best
apply my knowledge and experience to the nonprofit world
has been quite an adventure.
When I'm not studying or
working (and sometimes when I should be), I enjoy writing
op-eds, harvesting stickers, Tom Sawyering, and ferreting
out curiosities both online and in the physical world.
I have recently signed on
as webzines editor for a new connections-oriented website,
and am beginning to wonder when I'll have time to sleep.
Can someone please volunteer to take the little dog out
for her walkies?
To be continued...
