Two dogs, a shaggy tan Briard and a Bernese mountain dog, standing beside a small waterfall in a fern-filled forest

I'm a communications professional at MIT. I split my time between Massachusetts and northern Vermont with my husband Bill, our sons Will and Cam, our dogs Teddy and Charlie, and our bunny Katla.

I spend as much time as I can outside: traveling, hiking, and paddling, usually with the dogs along for the trip. I'm a voracious reader with multiple book clubs, enjoy building things with AI, and spend a lot of time plotting travels abroad.
