I live in Midcoast, Maine with my husband and eight-year old twin girls. I’ve played on lobster boats while getting my M.S. in Marine Science, designed and led snorkeling and kayaking tours in San Diego for the Scripps Institute of Oceanography and Birch Aquarium, taken kids on bike tours in Europe and the US, and taught Biology to military personnel in Sardinia, Italy. I have written and published several essays about these adventures, and continue to write about food, science, and community. I contribute articles to Zest magazine and Edible Maine. And, I write a regular column about local marine issues for The Times Record as well as a monthly feature for The Harpswell Anchor.
