I used to live in California, until I got tired of how it never snowed and moved to Boston. I currently live in Somerville with my husband, son, and two cats. (I do miss the earthquakes, though. The little ones, anyhow.)

I have a PhD in planetary science and work on extrasolar planets and small bodies in the outer solar system. I am currently an associate researcher at the Planetary Science Institute, which is based in Tucson, but I maintain a professional home office. I also write. In my spare time, I go on trips, take pretty pictures, and then neglect to update my webpage for years at a time.

I used to go to Caltech, where I took some classes.

My CV was last updated November 2014.
