About Me

I am the Publisher Services Manager for Lijit, a tech start up in Boulder, Colorado that pimps out blogs with our customized search tool, stats and advertising services.

My blog, Small Hands, Big Ideas is a conglomeration of my ideas which covers my love for digital media, life as a Generation Y in a startup, daily inspirations and the connections I am perpetually making.

My passions include traveling, cooking, my Italian family, laughter, people, blogging and writing, snowboarding, live music and hosting friends/family in my beautiful home of Boulder. I'm an ENFP, I'm gregarious, yet thoughtful and live my life as a responsible hedonist.
