Professional

I'm Known For...

Being a step ahead, except when I'm not.

My Current Project

It's a daily project, but it's making the Forbes.com home page a better place.

My Greatest Achievement

Surviving the day Lehman collapsed without crying. Oh ... wait. That didn't happen. I think I did cry. But I also survived!

My Biggest Regret

Not being able to predict the news. Yet.

I Truly Respect

Everyone here at Forbes. What a great place to work!

Moments I'd Like To Forget

Every time that I've succumbed to the pressure and lost my temper and yelled at someone who didn't deserve it.

How I Pay For This Wardrobe

By shopping the J. Crew sale religiously.

Blocks I've Been Around

I did my stint in the music biz. I hung out with rock stars. I danced all night. And then I grew up. No regrets!

Things That Really Happened

I met Mick Jagger, he asked me if he was allowed in the VIP room and I didn't faint.

Where I'd Like To Be 10 Years From Now

Sitting on my back porch, watching the sunset with a cocktail in my hand.

Why Forbes

Because it's Forbes. And I love it.

What I'm Currently Addicted To...

''Mad Men,'' tomatoes, ''Garden & Gun,'' flickr and Rupert Sanderson pumps.

This Is Annoying Me...

That it's 6pm on Friday and I still have SO MUCH WORK TO DO. Uggggggh.

This Is Making Me Worry...

A big party I'm planning that's coming up really, really quickly.

I'm Running From...

This should be "I'm running to" and that would be to stay happy, healthy and in tip-top paddling form.

This Is Helping Me Create...

Pandora Quick Mix.

This Is Making Me Think - Hard...

The rush by countries to ban BlackBerries. It's just so offensive.

This Makes My Teeth Itch

Breathless Apple pandemonium. It's a gadget people, not the solution to world hunger.

Can't Do Without

Coffee.

Favorite Voices

Katherine Hepburn, my mother, my husband, Darth Vader.

My Most Awkward Moment

The day an old lady dropped me on the corner of Union Square West and 13th Street with her walking stick and called me an ingrate (it's a loooong story that involves another stupendous awkward moment).

My Secret Ambition

To convince horses I am not made of food. And to have a pet Corgi named Churro.
