I graduated from UC Davis in 1985 and got an MBA
from UC Berkeley a few years later. I do finance
and accounting for high-tech companies, and have
greatly enjoyed seeing the changes in Silicon Valley
over the years.
My husband and I lived in Singapore for a few years
(2006-2008, loved the easy-but-exotic life there); took
all of 2009 off for travel (Australia, New Zealand,
Turkey, Tunisia, a fair amount of central/eastern
Europe, 5 weeks in NYC). Now settled back in Silicon
Valley (Mountain View, to be exact).
I've led an active, adventurous life -- taken great
long bike tours, climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, gone
trekking in Nepal and Peru, taught the macarena to a
group of Cambodian kids, gone whitewater rafting in 8
countries, rode a camel in the Sahara, surfed in
New Zealand, had dinner by candlelight in an ancient
fort in Jodphur (India), run a marathon, and lots more.
