After nearly two decades in the game, Angela Bruno has decided on one high-prio goal for the year: Live with greater intention. So far, so good, including the acquisition of a new juicer. The results of her concoctions vary, creating feelings of “brightness on the inside” to “suspicions of increased energy.” Highly recommend, along with adding a few sprigs of parsley. Next up—finding or growing into a new role with the same green-juice vibes.

Actually, let’s just not.

Angela Bruno is the Editorial Manager and Senior Digital Producer for DoctorOz.com. She currently resides in Brooklyn, NY, and can answer all your questions on mitochondria, metabolism, menopause, and the multiple medicinal uses of kale.

Angela Bruno grew up on Neptune (Avenue) but is ruled by Mars and Pluto (born with the Scorpio sting). A sometimes writer, full-time thinker, perpetual explorer and forever catastrophe editress, Bruno would love to become more of a writer — if it were not for that whole "tortured artist" bit. Though it’s become an increasingly tempting prospect. Urban Latino magazine, the NY Post, MTV URGE and Rhapsody are the places where she has cut her teeth. A reluctant optimist, this Jersey City, NJ native looks forward to getting her grandma on, recalling the Great Recession of the young millennium with wisdom and hutzpah: “Aw, sugar, grandma lost her job and hit the road. Travelin’ the world and gettin’ her groove on. Learning and opening her eyes big and wide.” The greater part of 2009 has been spent, thus far, trekking the globe (India, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, U.S. embassies, emergency rooms…) and perusing new avenues. With wanderlust satiated (relapse inevitable), Bruno’ll be mostly Stateside figuring out the next step, hatching her personal gainful-employment initiative, pondering art/craft, and making good on a newly acquired driver’s license.
