Visit my Bio at the Intel Home Page.
I hold an amateur radio license WB9BWB, although I haven't been very active recently. I am also interested in the history of radio technology, and have a small collection of antique broadcast radios. I enjoy tennis and cross-country skiing. I also am trying to learn how to speak Spanish.
I'm a homemaker at this stage in my life so I can enjoy my kids while they are young. In my "former life," I was a speech-language pathologist.
I am a cat enthusiast. I like to go downhill skiing and
like calligraphy.
I'm an idealist without illusions.

 | I am a junior at Brandeis University majoring in Politics and Economics. I am president of the Brandeis Democrats and tutor middle school students from the Waltham Public Schools. From a very young age, I have been passionate about bringing positive change to my community and country. |
| I have worked for Massachusetts State Representative James Eldridge since 2002. Most recently, I served as regional field director for his 2007 run for Congress. I led an over 200-person volunteer operation in 17 of the 29 communities in the congressional district. Previously, I served as a full-time summer State House intern in 2003, 2004, and 2006, focusing on constituent issues and tax policy research. I started out working for Mr. Eldridge as the visibility (sign-holding) coordinator for his first run for public office in 2002 and his 2004 re-election campaign. |
| I am a proud member of the Acton-Boxborough Regional High School (AB) Class of 2005. At AB, I was the Editor-in-Chief of The Spectrum, the school paper, and was the director of the AB Recycling Team. I also was a member of the Speech and Debate Team and was an elected representative for my class on the Student Council. |
| I enjoy soccer, cross-country skiing, Go (a board game), and late-night drives to diners. |
| Eldridge Sees Big Picture- a letter to the editor I wrote to the Acton's Beacon newspaper in favor of Rep. Jamie Eldridge's run for Congress. It was published on 8/23/2007. |
| H3903- An Act Establishing Biannual Tax Incidence Reports by the Commissioner of Revenue- A bill that was filed by Rep. Eldridge in 2007 based on my research on tax policy. If enacted, this law would direct the Massachusetts Department of Revenue to study how different state and local taxes affect different income groups every two years, and report the study's findings to the Legislature. If this information were available for Massachusetts, it would allow legislators to make better informed decisions about changes in tax policy. The law is modeled after a Minnesota law. |
| Train Magazine - the external web site of a magazine that I published from 1997-2002. I interviewed former MA Governor Michael Dukakis in his capacity as Vice-Chair of Amtrak's Board. |
| Spectrum Archives- PDF versions of The Spectrum, AB's school newspaper, from the 2004-2005 school-year. |
| Recycling Speech- A speech about my high school's recycling program that I delivered at the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Awards Night on January 5, 2004. |
| Student Council Speeches- my reelection speeches for my junior and senior year of high school. |
I'm seventeen years old. I am a gung-ho trekkie and I love to play soccer.
See Cats in Photo Gallery to see how cute we are.
We are fraternal twins. I'm Linka and my dopey twin is Nicky. We like to bother humans, meow and sit on people's laps. My brother, Nicky likes to scratch the couch. I only scratch the couch when the humans are out in the big machine with wheels. That's because I'm smart.
O.K. Linka wasn't being nice to me. I'm Nicky. But everybody makes up "pet" names for me. Ha, ha! I crack myself up. I'm not dopey. I am very smart and modest. I scratch the couch because I need to protect the humans from d-o-g-s. If I didn't scratch, I couldn't sharpen my claws. If I didn't protect them, the dogs would hurt them. But Linka is so lazy that she doesn't sharpen her claws often enough.
A poem David wrote about our cat.
