Andrea Zak is a twentysomething looking for meaningful and satisfying work and play. Since college, she has tried out life as a spinning instructor, temp, event planner, teaching assistant, program coordinator, market researcher...the list goes on.

Zak currently teaches mat pilates and goes on scores of informational and job interviews to figure out what’s next: freelance-brain-for-hire or a corporate gig. She volunteers frequently with Step Up Women’s Network, a national non-profit membership organization committed to strengthening community resources for women and girls.

An avid reader and news junkie, Zak uses her blog to rant about politics, corporate America, the environment and anything else that raises at least one of her eyebrows.

She holds a M.A. in Communication Management from the University of Southern California and a B.A. in History & Sociology of Science from the University of Pennsylvania. Raised in New Jersey, Zak now resides in Los Angeles, where she lives in awe of year-round, outdoor farmer’s markets and cupcake bakeries.

Andrea Zak’s blog is SchizoFrenetic.
