Next I went to graduate school at Duke University where I met my husband, Will Kiesman. He was a post-doc there.

I have two children. My daughter, Mackenzie, was born in 2001 and my son, Harrison, in 2003. I especially appreciate my job, now that I have children. It's great to have the summers off to spend with the kids at the town beach, riding bikes, and walking the dog.
