About Me
I am a scientist (epidemiologist) at a Biotech. My husband is a residential contractor. We are very connected to the Berkeley/Kensington area where this has been our home since moving here for graduate school in the early 1980s. I am originally from New Mexico and my husband from New York and we make the best of blending our past with our present. I lead informal walking tours along the hidden paths around my area. We enjoy hiking, biking and running in the variety of San Francisco area parks. We love to dance, enjoy the small theaters and music halls in Berkeley and walking to both the Berkeley Shattuck and Solano area restaurants from our home. We are positive you will enjoy the area as much as we do and welcome you to our neighborhood if you choose to rent from us!
