Who am I?

I hold a PhD in psychology with a specialization in human evolution and development. I work in the non-profit, higher education sector where I am currently the Director of Communications at Heterodox Academy. When I am not reading, I spend as much time as possible hiking, skiing, camping, and running around the beautiful mountain west. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah with my husband and twin daughters.
