I’m a mother, scientist, and writer from the Boston area whose other passions include dancing and traveling.

In 2025 I retired from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency after 27+ years of public service and a 30-year career as a scientist and engineer. I hold a B.S. from Princeton University in Civil Engineering, Water Resources and a Ph.D. and M.S. from Stanford University in Environmental Engineering & Science.

I am proud of my scientific contributions and excited about my writing projects. I’m a Writer in Residence and Co-Coordinator of the Writer’s Studio at the Follow Your Art Community Studios and a member of Boston’s Grub Street Center for Creative Writing.

In addition, I volunteer for the Make-A-Wish® Foundation, mentor young scientists/engineers, and am exploring ways to encourage young women and girls in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields.
