1. Ten years ago I was:

um… 13.  I don’t remember much about being 13 except that it was the first year I was officially a teenager.  I don’t even remember what grade I was in.

2. Five things on today’s to do list:

  • Start reading Once You’re Lucky, Twice You’re Good by Sarah Lacy.  Why?  Because I don’t want to sound stupid at her book signing… it’s also a quick/interesting read.
  • Figure out how to post stuff to a newspaper’s event section.
  • Design clipping for the office.
  • Eat Jambalaya (I’m going to enjoy this one!).
  • Lotion.  I’ve been cracking lately.

3. Things I’d do if I were a billionaire:

  • Quit my job and travel world wide
  • Invest 70% of wealth… and make those Wharton suits clamor for the account
  • Give away 15% to charity
    • 2-3% for immediate aid to Chinese quake victims
    • 2-3% for infrastructure in Southeast Asia such as schools, roads, etc.
    • 2-3% for research/set up (including initial investment and education) on developing sustainable economic/social development in subsaharan africa- especially areas that are facing desertification
    • 2-3% to aids work in Bostwana/South Africa
    • 2-3% to women’s education in Afghanistan/Tibet/Asia minor… only if they want it and discreetly in Islamic countries
    • 2-3% to weapons manufacturing and training in Darfur and Eastern Chad.  The UN isn’t going to do much, so at least people shouldn’t starve/should be able to defend themselves/be empowered to take control and fight their way back home.
  • Give 10% to parents and relatives
  • Spend 5% on me
  • Use my new found wealth to pressure NGOs and give speaking power to developing nations, whose interests often get overlooked during UN/IMF, etc. decision. 

4. Three bad habits:

  • Being inpatient
  • Shoe fanatic
  • Being a huge procrastinator

5. Six places I’ve lived:

  • Hefei, China
  • Goettingen, Germany
  • Houston, Texas
  • Philadelphia, PA
  • San Mateo, CA
  • Oakland, CA

6. Six jobs I’ve had in my life:

  • Hostess, Papasitos
  • Activist, PennEnvironment
  • Research Assistant, The Wharton School 
  • Marketing Intern, Agilent
  • Volunteer, Kimmel Center
  • Director of Marketing, MSI
  • Currently: Senior Marketing Specialist, SHIFT Communications
