About
Beej (aka, Jen) is just some girl with a .com who currently resides in San Francisco, CA. She used to work as a behavioral therapist for autistic children. She now serves as a program coordinator for a non-profit organization that promotes international development, primarily in Asia.
In what little spare time she has, she likes to snowboard, play tennis, waste time on the internet and twitter (follow her!). She has no formal training in anything web-related, but has a passion for learning and taking pictures. She uses this site as an experimental platform to document her interests. Feel free to do something nice.
