Yeah, it’s been a while. While prepping to audit a class I took a look at my old bio and updated it…
My Thing: helping people do their jobs better. Starting in 1990 (!?!) I worked at Harvard administering research projects and was also a Boston-based actor & producer. From 2006-2014 I worked full time at HU, fostering a learning community for research administrators University-wide, in the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS), and in institutions across the US. I got a Master’s degree from HGSE in May ’15, after taking courses in leadership, organizational development, and online teaching and learning. Since 2015, I have been finance associate for the Department of the History of Science and the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments. I live in Cambridge and have a spouse and three wonderful purry fur babies. I love to sing (lead and harmony), dance, play music with others, do improv theater, and travel.
…and I googled myself to see what was there. This blog was pretty prominent. I was thinking of deleting it but I spent a lot of time on this! So I’m reviving it instead.
Looking forward to catching up and moving on in the next few weeks. Until then, here’s some Big Stuff (in no particular order)…
- Tomorrow Rob and I will have been married 20 years!!!
- We’ve caught up with our taxes and we’re buying a condo
- We’re keeping this house and will be renting it out
- I REALLY have my meds correct now… I feel Good most of the time.
- Covid-19 is ravaging the world
- Trump is killing our nation
- Seamus passed on and we got 2 kittens last October. Maeve and Jameson (Jamie) are awesome. Oscar really loved them at first but now that they’re grown he is less happy.
- we went to Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague,Iceland, France, and Australia
- I’ve started Auditing a class! “Confronting COVID-19: Science, History, Policy”.
- We fixed up our backyard and finally got the trees trimmed
- I’m feeling content with life, despite the troubles in the world. I’m happy where I am and with what I’m doing. Doesn’t mean I can’t learn and improve. But I don’t have to be the next Shakespeare. I am enough, just as I am.
