Personal
She is married and has three children. Her oldest son is a professional chef (this gene must have skipped a generation), and her middle son is a guitarist in a rock band. Her daughter is showing an interest in the sciences but faints at the sight of blood, so she thinks a career in nursing may be out. She also plays the acoustic guitar and the drums. She enjoys photography and reading. Her favorite hobbies, however, are water gardening and interior decorating.
