One simply does not mess with Mariam. Blessed with the glam of a Serena van der Woodsen and the wrath of a killer dog from a Stephen King novel, she -- again -- is not to be messed with. Her love for memes knows no boundaries and her passion for work, especially when she dons her working glasses, is astonishing as 925's Associate Editor.
