Bio
I was born in Boston, in a hospital which still exists, and which I now think of as the best place for bringing badly damaged BU students in an ambulance. I have spent my entire life living in the delightful minor city of Cambridge, Massachusetts, with a traumatic relocation about seven blocks down the street at the age of 12. My longest stay outside the city limits was the eight weeks last summer when I lived and worked in a remote little village in upstate New York called St. Hubert's, visible on a map as a little church icon next to the miniscule town of Keene Valley. Yes, Putnam Camp is my home outside Cambridge.
I have one sibling, an older brother, who I've been chasing since I was born and will never actually surpass (let's hope). We attended the same elementary school, an awesome hippy training ground called King Open, survived the same public high school, which goes by the deceptively grandiose name of Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, and even managed to end up at the same college, living in the same dorm. Seriously, I still get his mail. But aside from our academic careers, a similar tilt of the eyebrow and some shared genetic material, we're really quite different people. Most of the time. When we're not building robots or lego monsters together.
My mother's great hobby is the study of period clothing, ie what people were wearing a few hundred years ago. Thus I spent many childhood hours perusing old books, sewing or modifying clothes for school or dance occasions, and then doing the same thing over again for my American Girl doll, upon whom I bestowed the extraordinarily imaginitive name Dolly. I was a whiz at cross stitch by age six, could sew my own clothes (by hand) by age eight, and finally learned how to use a sewing machine around age ten. One of the great loves of my life is a 1930s Singer sewing maching with whom I spent many happy hours last summer. That beast is so old it doesn't even go backwards--zig-zag would be unthinkable--but it is beautiful in a way that modern all-electric gadgets never are.
Here at MIT, I've continued my unfortunate habit of getting involved in far too many activities. I'm a member of MIT-EMS, the student-run volunteer ambulance service. I'm also on the varsity Sailing team, play viola, and try to find time to mentor my high-school robotics team. And when I list my activities like this, I always have the creeping feeling I'm leaving something out.
