Jonaliza is a multi-talented professional who has taken on the role of artist, writer, marketing consultant, interior designer, fashion editor, event producer, retail buyer, but most of all, social entrepreneur with ambitions of doing her part in making a difference in the world, in particular to provide financial and health aid to girls and women in third-world countries. Only at the beginning of her game, Jonaliza recently launched Girlnetic with plans to establish it into a world-renowned brand and donate a third of its profits to support local women businesses and non-profits benefiting girls and women.

If not engrossed in her projects and while in pursuit of her MBA in Entrepreneurship and Business Management, Jonaliza roams the city of New York and Washington D.C. in an endless search of inspiration for her upcoming romantic-thriller novel to be released in Fall 2010. During her free time, she involves herself in various community service projects, most recently taking on the role of Site Captain at the 18th Annual New York Cares Day and joining the volunteer force at All-Stars Project.

Jonaliza’s other interests include arts and crafts, health and fitness, music apprecation, science and technology, sociology, investing, mythology, vegetarianism, performing arts, and her favorite of all time, travel and world culture. Currently, she resides in Jersey City, NJ with her mini schnauzers, Samson and Delilah. Sufjan Stevens, Maxwell, Mozart, Ingrid Michaelson and Claude Debussy are what’s shuffling on her iPod.
