Miscellaneous

While I hope my cover letter will allow me to pen(or should I say type) verbiage of why I

believe I can be a successful fit, and important asset to the Digitas team, I always felt

there is more to a person then just what their business card says:

I am an avid writer, and currently manage and write for 2 blogs. One of which, leads

me to my second passion…Wiffle Ball, yes the sport with the yellow bat and plastic

ball, with 8 oblong holes in them...that most of you stopped playing when you were 12.

I am, and this is not a joke…technically a Semi Pro Wiffle Ball player. I will spare the

details now, but am sure this will be a pretty good conversation spark at some point. I

currently run the ‘Blog’ and online web components for our league.

I have been training in Martial Arts for over ten years, and currently find myself

climbing the ranks in Aikido. I am the proud parent of my pride and joy, ‘Maya Hot

Sauce of Bergen’. Weird name for a child, you say ? Yes, that’s because she is not

human…she is my one year old rescue dog.
