About Me

I live in McMinnville, Oregon, with my husband, Mike Roberts, who I met as a teenager in the California Youth Symphony. He is a biology professor at Linfield College, and still plays the trombone for fun. We have two grown daughters, Rosemary Roberts and Amelia Bierly.

We are fairly normal Oregonians: we recycle, compost, hug trees and have webbed feet. We try to live a healthy life, although I admit to a great weakness for chocolate. The sign on my cello case says, "Will work for chocolate," but it's not really true.
