My name's Marie, and I've been at Hacker Dojo since June 7, 2011. I've been writing my blog, Behind the Dojo Desk, since September 5, 2012.

Immediately before taking on the job of "Lobby Greeter" at Dojo, I was working in a children's boutique. During and before that, I did various work in a few catering companies, specifically with a focus on weddings. This included office and event coordination work, as well as passing out food and drinks and busing tables (yes, I had to wear a hideous uniform that often included a clip-on tie.) I also studied at a handful of universities focusing on a variety of topics including elementary education, social and physical anthropology, and business with a focus in marketing. I have no degree, but I do have a Certificate of Advanced Achievement in Marketing Management from De Anza Community College.

In addition to the work I do at the Dojo, I also volunteer my time for Hack the Future, a not-for-profit, one day every three to four months, hackathon for youth in the Bay Area.

On a more personal note, I was born and raised in Santa Cruz, CA, and never thought I would see myself living on this side of the hill. I hate chocolate, have no sense of smell, my favorite food is salmon, and I enjoy doing yoga.
