BUSINESS
I’ve always been a big supporter of the hard-working and passionate small business owner and entrepreneur. Which is why I’m proud to be a regular contributor to the blog of CreativeLive (the world’s largest live streaming education website), which is aimed at those who are or aspire to become creative entrepreneurs. Including my two years as a staff reporter at a business journal in Texas, I’ve interviewed hundreds and hundreds of CEOs, executives, small business owners and business leaders for articles in publications like Slate, IDG Connect, Profile, Hispanic Executive and Knowledge@Wharton (journal of the Wharton School of Business).

EDUCATION
Back in the day, I worked as a private tutor to help students prepare for the SAT and ACT (U.S. college entrance exams), and this allowed me to share my memorable experiences and hard-earned wisdom with the teen audience of SparkNotes.com’s Test Prep Tutor blog and with several magazines aimed at high school and college students and their parents. I also contribute to the blog of ETS.
