About



A little background: I grew up in 5 different countries in Africa (Chad, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, The Gambia, and Lesotho), from shortly after birth until I left at 18 to go to university, and am so grateful to my parents that I had that opportunity. (My dad was a range ecologist subcontracted under the United States Agency for International Development.)
After graduating from university, I joined the U.S. Coast Guard, and served honorably for four years.
At the end of those four years I married a fellow Coastie who served no boat time (scandalous!) He was the crew chief on HH-60 helos. Now he flies a desk as an engineer for a building automations company.
We have three daughters: Olivia (12 years old); Karina (10 years old); Susanna (7 years old).
