I was graduated from the University of Oslo, Norway,
with a B.A. equivalent degree in History in 1992. I
also studied Norwegian and English at university.
It was great living in Europe, but I fell in love with a
Californian. I came back to California, and lived in
Menlo Park, and then Mountain View while teaching 7th
grade English and social studies at Sunnyvale Middle
School. I had Mr. Blasquez's daughter, Wendy, as a
student. I married Kevin in 1995. We had a daughter,
Elizabeth, in 2000. In 2001, just days before 9/11, we
moved to the DC Metro area. Kevin is working for the
National Institutes of Health. I am a stay-at-home
mother and I love it. Our second daughter, Eleanor
Avery, was born October 16, 2003.
