Brief Biographical Sketch:

I work for the American Red Cross, doing IT, but my passion is teaching about international humanitarian law for the American Red Cross. In my non-Red Cross life, I help administer and volunteer at a one-week summer Peace Camp, and am a trainer for a local peace & social justice organization. I am also the mother of a member of MIT's class of 2015.
