About: Hmmmm....I'm a big talker with a ton of ideas and I love hearing what others have to say. Even better I like taking ideas and discovering how to make them work in reality. I am a creative thinker (I think that is required in order to be a resident of SL!) Plus I like challenges! :)

I am a project manager for Public Diplomacy at the U.S. Department of State. I cover everything from exploring and using new technologies to writing policies on their use (wikis, blogs, social networking, mobile and virtual worlds to name a few!).

I am interested in meeting people with ideas on how to help us better engage foreign audiences world-wide through the use of technology. If you let me pick your brain I'd be happy to tell you all the things we have explored that you would not expect from your government.
