Milestones
My road in life has been direct.
Grew up interested in space and decided she wanted to be a rocket scientist.
Her first job had to do with programming and launching satellites into space.
Her hobby had always been writing, and over time, she started enjoying that more than she enjoyed her satellite communications job.
Eventually decided to drop everything else and focus on her writing.
Says, "before I was doing communications in outer space; now I'm doing communications right here on Earth."
Everyone around her was single, wishing there was somewhere they could meet people that wasn't just a club and bar scene.
Instead of going to write for Cosmo or Vogue, she decided to take her intimate knowledge of a local problem and build her own solution.
Started One2One Living, a magazine that profiles professional singles and displays hundreds of personal ads.
