A month ago today I started a new job with the Mozilla Foundation (yay!). I'm through the roof about this and I wanted to share with you why. For awhile I've watched Mozilla from afar while admiring their commitment to creating an open web and educating the next generation of webmakers. My only experience with … Continue reading I throw parties at Mozilla

Girls Learning Code
It's March break! Other than less traffic on the roads, this week has yet to have any meaning since I completed high school. Until now that is. This week I've offered to lend some of my time to act as a mentor at the Girls Learning Code March Break Camp (founded from the awesome people … Continue reading Girls Learning Code
Technology Firsts
I wrote an email today about a memory I had of my brother and a technology first. It went a little something like this, Dearest Dil. I have a story I want to share with you. I remember the time when I came home after my first (and only) camp experience. It was the next day … Continue reading Technology Firsts

What I didn't expect was what would happen along the way. The past four … Continue reading New York in Review

Instead, I thought I'd share one of the great adventures I recently had that happened outside New York. I love hitting the road and exploring different places around big cities. Sometimes … Continue reading Road Trippin’ through the USA
A very happy birthday
Ever since I was born there was only one person I wanted to be like. So much so that I would hideout and cut my hair shorter in the bathroom, much to my mother's protest, just so I could look as cool as him. I spent a lot of time as a young child following … Continue reading A very happy birthday
Next Stop: New York
All aboard! After months of planning, organizing, and conquering road blocks along the way, I'm happy to announce that I'll be headed to New York. Going back to school has been on my mind for awhile now. When completing my undergraduate degree in business I had the option to concentrate in my last year and … Continue reading Next Stop: New York
My City Loves
September 7th marked my last day at My City Lives, the location-based startup that was founded in Toronto almost three years ago. My story with My City Lives began a little over two years ago. While in my last year of university, I managed to bridge the gap between doing something interesting and getting to know more … Continue reading My City Loves
