Role at Fast Company: Social media producer. I manage multiple social media accounts—for Fast Company and the Co. sites—and engage with Fast Company's audience and followers on a daily basis. The majority of what you read on our Facebook or Twitter comes from me, so...blame me if you hate it (hope you don't!).

Titillating fact: Meryl Streep and I are best friends. Not actually, but at my last job, I met her at a photo shoot we had in Washington, D.C. I greeted her in our hotel lobby, where we shook hands and her first words to me were, "I'm Meryl" (duh). We made small talk as I helped her into her car to the White House, where the photo shoot was taking place. Then we met up with my other best friend, Michelle Obama. Needless to say, it was a magical day.

Big Egg Scrambles To Beat Vegan Mayo
Newly revealed emails show that the U.S. egg industry sees a "major threat" in eggless mayo maker Hampton Creek.
