Get to know Amy!

I was born in the year of the mouse. I have always been somewhat of a nerd. I love science and in 1995 received my B.S. in Astronomy and B.A. in Mathematics from USC. In 1997 I received my M.S. in Atmospheric Sciences from UCLA. Finally, in 2003, I received my Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences from UCLA.


Toby and I, March 2006.

I live with Toby, the world's sweetest Golden Retriever. Our daily routine includes an after-work brisk walk to the local grass area and mingling with the neighborhood dog gang consisting of the friendly dog owners and their furry counter parts Paco, Miss Dee, Willow, Marshall, Guinness, Kobe, and Bailey.

My favorite pastime is eating. I love to try new restaurants and enjoy a variety of food from different nationalities. Seafood, crab and lobster in particular, is my life passion.

When I have time, I enjoy swimming, playing tennis, and cycling at the beach
