About me

Location North Carolina, United States
Introduction I'm a full-time working mom of one toddler and a... uh... tiny fetus. I have a doctorate in education, and I study/practice higher education assessment and institutional research. My husband (of five wonderful years) and I live and work in North Carolina.
Interests I was very fortunate that the only complication I had during my first pregnancy was looking awful at work. I'm not a fashionista, and I don't pretend to be, but I learned enough the first time around to give advice (and warnings!) to other working women who are negotiating the business of maternity fashion. If clothes are a medium of self-expression, they can help new mothers connect their old and new identities in the midst of this enormous life change.
