About Me

I am moving to Homestead/ Miami in April, graduate in May with my MBA and am getting married in October. 2010 is going to be a busy year.

I would love to find other connected folks in the Miami area as it seems it's one of the least connected cities considering how huge it is. I'm coming from the Raleigh area in NC where it seems there's at least one TweetUp a month, if not more.

Cheers!
