What is your position or role in the DESI project?
Safety Manager for Kitt Peak/on-site DESI.

Where were you born?
Hanover, New Hampshire.

Where do you live now?
Arizona City, Arizona.

What do you as part of DESI?
I try to make sure everyone has what they need for safety equipment, as well as, review procedures and plans to make sure that safety concerns are addressed.

What is the most interesting or exciting thing about DESI?
For me, the most interesting thing is working with a diverse group of people and watching how well they all work together as a team. It has been a learning experience to help meet the needs of the various folks working at Kitt Peak.

What do you do for fun?
My husband and I are both Hot Air Balloon pilots—so we have fun flying our balloons in various locations throughout the world and meeting people from all over. It is so much fun to watch a smile come over someone’s face during our flight.
