Native of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, where I spent large quantities of time climbing trees, reading books, and reading books in trees.  Raised by two incredible, inspiring topologists-turned-teachers who have been known to refer to physicists as “failed mathematicians” (because a good sense of humor is just one of the countless life lessons they’ve imparted).<\/p>\n

Alumna of Cleveland Heights High School (where I got detention exactly once) and forever indebted to the teachers I had there for the strong foundations they gave me in so many areas.  Similarly grateful to professors and mentors I had at Fordham University, from which I graduated after five years with two majors (physics & chemistry), one minor (philosophy) and twice as many total credits as were required, despite having edited the weekly campus newspaper<\/a>, flown on the Vomit Comet<\/a>, and spent many late nights reading and discussing things that may not have been all that related to coursework.<\/p>\n

Gymnast for most of my life, which transfers handily into things like skiing, rock-climbing, and success at festival challenges like \u00dcberschlag-Schiffschaukeln<\/a> and Ryckhangeln<\/a>.  Overly cheerful all-weather bike commuter<\/a> and huge proponent of public transit, but with deep fondness for a good old car or motorcycle road trip. Always happy to spend time camping, hiking, reading, writing, drawing, painting, star-gazing, scuba-diving, and going on various adventures, often with my spouse<\/a> and\/or kid.<\/p>\n

Overthinker, incorrigible tinkerer, highly susceptible to nerd-sniping<\/a>.<\/p>\n
