She graduated from MICA in 2002 where she also ended up meeting her Husband whom she has been married to for the past 23 years or so. Beyond work she is perpetually addicted to Netflix. The only people who can cure her of her addiction are the Husband and the 13 year old son whom she has produced. Not that she has produced very, many things or beings but she claims that the Son is her greatest production ever! Whatever time she manages off Netflix and all the work mentioned above, she invests that in trying to help turn the son into a good human being. She succeeds- sometimes. Sometimes life takes over.
