About Me

  • I'm a mom to two wonderful children and two adorable senior dogs.
  • I absolutely love dogs and the ocean.
  • I'm always wondering how things work and occasionally like taking things apart.
  • I'm a UC Santa Barbara graduate (B.S. Microbiology / M.S. Environmental Science).

  • In my spare time, I love to read and take lots of photos of my family or scenery.
