And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by ....." John Masefield |
Although I was born in Seattle, Washington, my family moved to Kotzebue, an Eskimo
fishing village in Alaska on the Arctic Ocean when I was five. After five years of
fishing and eating blueberries, we moved to the Rocky Boy Indian Reservation in North-Central
Montana, where I continued to be the only non-native child in my class. By the age of 12, I knew that I
wanted to be an explorer, so at fourteen, I began attending St. Paul's School in Concord,
New Hampshire.
After St. Paul's, I attended Harvard
and concentrated in Environmental Geoscience in the Department of Earth and
Planetary Sciences. When I wasn't studying, I rowed for Radcliffe (I was in the winning Youth
Eight as a freshman at the Head of the Charles!) and spent countless hours playing my trumpet
with the Harvard Jazz Band.
After Harvard, I moved to Scripps Institution of
Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, where I finally got my chance to head
south to the Southern Ocean on research cruises out of Australia and New Zealand. When I wasn't at
sea or in the lab, I swam with the UCSD Masters Swim Team and spent time hiking in the Sierras.
In 1999, I moved home to Seattle to the Joint Institute for the Study of Atmosphere and Ocean at the University of Washington where I met my husband, Paul Goodman . Between 2000 and 2002, Paul and I commuted across the country between my job at UW and his job at Columbia University. In the fall of 2002, I started work at Princeton University at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. I arrived just in time to help my colleagues prepare for the Fourth Scientific Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. GFDL produces some of the most exciting research that I've ever seen in climate change and I was lucky to spend three years there. In 2005, I accepted an appointment as Assistant Professor of Geosciences at the University of Arizona, where you'll find me today.
