Jasmine Ong is a development professional, accidental activist, Excel Ninja, and reformed pedant. Though a native speaker of snark, she is also fluent in long, uncomfortable silences punctuated by unpredictably timed interjections. She has a great disdain for the word pulchritude, believing that it sounds like the opposite of what it means.
