FIC Staff: Who We Are
 I
joined FIC in December 2002 after working at the Smithsonian Institution
for 24 years. I love working at Fogarty because I truly believe
in our mission to end health disparities throughout the planet and
because the staff is so friendly and professional. The commute from
College Park, Maryland, on the subway gives me a lot of spare time,
so I'm trying to learn Spanish from some tapes I got for Christmas.
My husband's 14-year-old son spends every other weekend with us,
and that usually involves a house full of teens. He also plays baseball,
and I'm proud to say is a dynamite catcher. In addition, I have
a 37-year-old son named Chuck who works for the U.S. Customs Service
and just got married in December in Las Vegas. I went along and
it was a blast!
In my spare time, I like to quilt, do needle-work, spend time
with my family (including my rescue dog, Roscoe), camp, travel,
go to yard sales, and, whenever I get the chance, scuba dive. Once
a month, I give the children's sermon at my church, using one of
a selection of puppets. I am thinking of taking up agility training
with my dog because I think it would be a lot of fun for us both.
