About admin

Since 1996, I have been both web publisher and author of AdvancingWomen.com, a site designed to help level the playing field for women and like-minded men in careers, business and particularly web biz, and now social media. I have provided career and business content to Fortune 500 companies like Citibank and Hearst, been published internationally by Cambridge University Press, by universities, military academies, medical and business societies, and financial organizations in Australia, India, and Saudi Arabia and translated into Mandarin Chinese, reaching a Chinese audience of over 2 million. I also served as financial news editor for Hearst’s MoneyMinded.com/Woman.com. I am a past member of the Board of Directors of National Association of Women Business Owners ( NAWBO-San Antonio); am active with the White House project, whose mission is to encourage women’s participation in politics and to place women in the pipeline to reach the highest offices in our land; also active with Win With Women, National Democratic Institute, Washington, D.C. to promote women in political leadership in 65 countries and various organizations supporting the increased use and funding of technology. I attended Wellesley College and graduated from Columbia University with a degree in writing. I come from a *very* entrepreneurial family and was, for many years, a serial entrepreneur myself always looking for a new horizon to explore. The latest horizon has been the dawning of the Internet, which I migrated to and set up tent ,shortly after Netscape came out with the browser in 1994. ( As those of you involved with the Internet know, in Net time, that is somewhat equivalent to when the dinosaurs were crawling out of the swamps. I have many interesting stories from those wild and woolly pioneer days.) For the past 13 years, I’ve been working on the Internet. I’m all about building community.
