I graduated from the University of Alabama in Huntsville with a degree in Civil Engineering (Environmental) in December of 2003. I currently work as an Environmental Engineer in Huntsville.
For three years I was a virtual slave to the UAH ASCE Concrete Canoe Team. I joined in 2001, was elected Treasurer in 2002, and was stuck as President in 2003 and 2004. During my time as President, I learned exactly what sheer determination can accomplish. And, for the most part, I had a lot of fun.
I met my husband, Todd, in June of 2001 at the National Concrete Canoe Competition in San Diego. He was the president-elect of the UAH ASCE at the time, and we discovered a shared fondness for The Emperor's New Groove. We were married May 14th of 2005.
I'm from Hendersonville, Tennessee.
Once upon a time, my career goal was to work with CELSS (Closed Ecological Life Support Systems). Then Columbia fell out of the sky, the space program was castrated, and I went to work for a geotechnical firm instead.
I refuse to stop using the serial comma.
I am not a patient person.
I taught myself HTML. And I admit it shows.
I'm a bit of a tree-hugger.
I took ballet for fourteen years. I quit when I came to Huntsville because I didn't have a car. I didn't actually get a car until I started working as a soils lab tech, three years later.
I hate to cook. Hate. It.
But I LOVE to eat.
My master plan is to put birth control in the world's water supply and issue permits for the antidote.
I'm pretty good with AutoCAD. And for some reason, I'm proud of that.
Todd and I have three cats and two dogs. If they were people, they would all ride the short bus.
I'm not a liberal, I'm not a conservative, I'm not anything that fits under a label. Create a party based on decency and logic, and I'll let you label me that.
I played piano from the age of seven until I graduated high school.
I am terrified of spiders. Well, anything arachnid, really.
My dad is a chemical engineer turned financial advisor. My mother is a family practitioner. They have been married for 30 years as of June 8th, 2005.
I despise cilantro.
I am not a morning person.
