About

Does JAP mean Japanese?  I get this question a lot from people outside of the Northeast.  In my case I’m referring to a Jewish American Princess.  Urban Dictionary has a great definition of JAP, starting with “a bitchy, spoiled, golddigging Jewish female”.  Now, I can’t vouch for bitchy, but I’m definitely not spoiled, and I’m not a gold digger.  I call myself a JAP more in the broad sense of a Jewish girl.  (You can agree with this or not, it’s all fine!)  My Dad used to call me a JIT when I was younger (JAP in Training) and I guess it all just kind of stuck!!  And about me…

I’m a sarcastic, funny & slightly spastic 20-something born and raised in Queens, New York.  I went to Hofstra University – didn’t even leave the state for college!  And now I reside in the boogie down Bronx.  No, it’s not ghetto like you think.

Happily married to a self-proclaimed “Rock Star”, who goes by Dave.  We’re expecting our first child in May 2012, referred to as Baby Bean.

A corporate event planner by day, and 20SB Social Media Manager every other hour of the day.  I’m actually introducing a social media plan to my company, which I’m pretty excited about!

I’m quite proud of my two collections: rubber ducks, and Hard Rock Cafe shot glasses.  Also easily amused, and obsessed with: travel, meal planning, baking, crossing items off my life list, my android phone, chasing down food trucks, and more (in no particular order)

Another important fact: I am the current CHAMPION of my Fantasy Football League.  BOO-YAH.
