Hi,

I’m Erica Manney.  You probably found me by doing a search, because I don’t really tell many people about this site–don’t worry, I’m a bit of an internet-stalker myself.

I’ll make it easy on you! The links on the right will bring you to my professional pages, my Twitter feed and direct you to some blogs I have written or regularly contribute towards.

You Should Only Know is my personal blog. I write about all sorts of crazy stuff there – from mini-Yiddish lessons, to my nutty family and my daily trials. Some stuff feels like it only happens to me, and that’s where I (over) share.

Pale Nerd was an experiment where I successfully blogged about every book I read, for a whole year. It was a lot of fun to do, but I am relieved it’s over.

I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology.

When not blogging, going to school or obsessively looking at dog adoption websites, I am a Marketing Manager at a great online education company. I wear a lot of hats, including managing our customer service department, but have been focusing most recently on our social media strategy.

Stuff I love (in no particular order):

• Human Resources
• Dogs
• Environmental Sustainability
• Magazines
• Fresh-cut grass
• Clipping out recipes (but very rarely actually cooking)
• My neighborhood in Queens
• Community planning
• Archaeology
• Buffy the Vampire Slayer
• When a plan comes together
