I'm a mom, a hacker, a former search-and-rescue volunteer, a writer, and a student of problem-solving. My professional background is as a software engineer, architect, and information security analyst, but I've since moved into leadership roles. I have backgrounds in a dozen or so other fields or areas of endeavor, and I'm interested in a little of everything. I'm a generalist, and I don't sit still well, so I tend to collect experiences along the way.
