Seemed like a good idea to put those radish tops in my smoothie.

[Amanda @amandazee]

@Jann_Jones I didn’t! Turns out, I own too much crap already.

Excited to join this panel of awesome women helping other women understand how to tell their stories better (under the guise of a resume review). Looking forward to meeting incredible Twin Cities strategists!
