I grew up in Boston and attended Boston Public Schools. I graduated from Girl's Latin School, one of the best high schools in the city. Even though I enjoyed my math, science, chemistry and physics classes, it never occurred to me as a teenager to pursue the study of science. I attended Syracuse University and graduated from the University of Massachusetts with a B.A. in Sociology. After marrying a physicist and having three children, I decided to go back to school. My pregnancies, births and babies sparked an interest in the biology of the human body and the miracle of life. I attended Boston University to study Biomedical and Clinical Science and graduated summa cum laude. For the last 11 years I have worked at Circe Biomedical in Lexington, Massachusetts. Circe is a small company focused on the development of artificial organs. I am the assistant manager of the Research Cell Development Group. Most of my work has been on the bio-artificial liver, which is used to support the liver function of people who have liver failure due to disease or chemical toxicity. The most exciting part of my work has been the opportunity to continue learning.
