But enough about you, let’s talk about ME.

My name is Margaret and I live in 02138 with my ten-year-old daughter and our two opinionated gnomes, Greta and Vladimir. If “luck” is where experience collides with opportunity, I am lucky to be part of this hyper-local media initiative and I will use my power to take over the world, BWAHAHAHAHA!! and psyched to find interesting 02138 stories.

I’ve worked at CBS News, Sports Illustrated, PBS, and HBO…slid into multimedia (same ideas, different technology) writing and producing entertainment arena shows, CD-ROMs, and web products. When the Internet startup for which I was the Executive Producer “dot-bombed” in the Great Dot-com Purge of the New Millennium, I bailed out of the wreckage and waited out the storm in grad school, finishing my MFA in writing at Bennington.

Now I do user-interface design, information architecture, content development, and project management – which is really all about designing good user experiences.

I am also a volunteer-mom-on-steroids at my daughter’s school, The International School of Boston in Cambridge, where I run the enrichment programs, organize a host program for new families, and work on fundraising activities, among other things.

I’ve been published in the Christian Science Monitor, Reading Divas, and write bi-monthly for the Yale Alumni Magazine. Non-media adventures include running 16 marathons, being charged by an elephant in Central Africa, summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro, and creating Abracadabra Days for my daughter.

But enough about me, let’s talk about YOU… 02138, tell me who you are! Psst! Post a comment!
