claudia's Bio

I am a professional scientist.

I study comets and the planets. I have done work on Jupiter and Saturn. I have a special fondness for the largest moon in the solar system: Ganymede (a moon of Jupiter). To support my work, I have degrees from UC Berkeley, UCLA, and the University of MIchigan. So of course I support those teams! The only conflict I have is when UCLA and UM face each other in the Rose Bowl. Then, all I'll say is that I wear Blue and Gold.

When I was a student at UM, I used to foxhunt with the Battle Creek Hunt (we never caught the fox - that was not the point!). As a result of that I have an interest in equestrian hunting and cross-country events. I have a life-long interest in horse racing. I am priveliged to live near the historic Santa Anita racetrack (where Seabiscuit used to race).

I travel quite a bit for business. I have been lucky enough to go to Wimbledon once and see Pete Sampras. I have also been to Indian Wells, and hopefully Queens Club this summer. I have a life-long interest in tennis. Some of my earliest memories are of Arthur Ashe in the 70s, and John McEnroe facing Borg in the 80s.

  13. This article was originally published in support of Relay for Life. If you have read this before, then I apologize, but please considering donating at least $1 to Make a Wish in the memory of Josiah Herring. In light of several recent events I felt compelled to revisit cancer awareness and have not had the time for a new article. I Promise to have a new article out soon in support of the cause.

    Thank you everyone!
