Ideas motivate me. I get all excited coming up with new ways to do things, and even more excited when they can have a positive impact in the world.

My work has been in marketing or communications pretty much my entire career, with the longest stint in nonprofit. I got to figure out new ways of doing communications for a large, international NGO – probably some of the richest years of my life.

Personally, I love to follow cultural trends and see how history relates to them. So I’ve decided that when I grow old, I will do genealogical research all day long. Every day. I’m sure my husband will be 85 and still snowboarding in our beautiful Rocky Mountains.

No matter what I’m doing career-wise, I want to use what I know and learn to help move our world forward to a better place. Sharing from my experience comes naturally and I can’t wait to do more of it. I hope I get to exchange ideas with you sometime.

About Poor Mexican Gone

The name comes from a saying my dad’s father made up. I don’t know the circumstances that resulted in this clever little “invention,” but the irony is not lost on me.

Cuando hitty con un cartuche,
no come back.
Cuando de repente pún,
poor Mexican gone.

Loosely translated from the ugly Spanglish: “When you get hit with a bullet, you don’t come back. When [the gun] goes off – Boom! – [you’re] dead.”
