I am a presently a resident of Cascades who lived in Leesburg, VA for about 3 years. I hope to relocate back to Leesburg in the next year or two but we shall see.

I am a local blogger blogging at "Livin' la Vida Loudoun" over at www.livinlavidaloudoun.com. I also a contribute articles to the I Am Modern and Modern DC Business magazines in our area. I think I may soon be covering the "Western Loudoun" beat for Valley Homes & Style magazine based out of the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia but possibly not until their Spring 2012 edition.

In addition to writing for many blogs, magazines and other publications, I have owned my own interactive digital-social media and PR agency based out of Dulles, Virginia (www.ruizmcpherson.com) since 2007. Just about any topic pertaining to digital marketing, web design/development, social media communications and blogging is one I'd be highly interested in reading or learning more about.

I recently took over a local bloggers MeetUp group, which I renamed to "Fairfax & Loudoun County Bloggers" so anyone who fits that description is welcome to reach out and connect. You can learn more here: http://bit.ly/tzNDOx.

Another strong interest of mine is local small business. Owning one myself in our area is an obvious connection but more than that is learning about what other entrepreneurs, proprietors and biz owners are doing to maximize the full potential of their operations and reach. I have an incurable entrepreneurial spirit so anything to do with small biz usually will pull at my heart strings and peak my curiousity.

When I'm not in business or digital marketing/social media/PR mode, I have many other passions which include family, reading, cooking and before I gave birth to my almost-one-year old daughter, sewing. I also have a thing for graphic design and digital photography.

I'm always on the hunt for a good story to feature or cover in one of the many blogs or publications I contribute content for. If you know of any one with a 'good story' interested in being featured or interviewed, hit me up at mayra[@]ruizmpherson.com.
