I'm a born and bred New Englander. From an Irish-Italian-Canadian family. I have a big personality. I've tried to be an elegant, graceful, reserved woman but it's just not in me. If we're friends, I'm probably the louder one. Life is singular, meaning there's no do-over, no retry, so I'm going to live it on my terms with all the joy and excitement lived out loud. I have a real hard time around others who are weak-willed or mealymouthed but if you need a couch moved or a ride to surgery, I'm your gal. I am a woman of my word: I'm there when I say I will be, finish the things I commit to, and never show up messy. I've lived in western Massachusetts for the past few years after stints in New York, Denver, Boston, Montreal, and a few ranches out west. In my heart, I am a wanderer, a woman with a restless soul, digging in deep to the communities I'm part of but don't be surprised if I say good-bye to wander other lands.
I'm a software programmer, which means my job is changing rapidly in this new world of AI; I am so excited for this new phase in my career. Some of my thinking about that is in AI Discipline. I'm also an amateur woodworker and I'm thinking about how to marry wood with technology in more tactile, analog ways. I'm also an adult student at the Harvard Extension School, working toward my bachelor's degree (I should complete my degree this year, 2026). And I ride a motorcycle (see first ride of the season), which means I spend a lot of time not thinking about anything other than the freedom the road gives me; it is my form of meditation during the riding season.
I live with a dog named Trixie. She is unbothered by everything. A sweet gal that gets as excited as her mom over the simplest things. As I always tell her, we're two peas in a pod.
