Recovering journalist. Public servant. Analyst both by trade and also somewhat by hobby (I suppose I'm lucky in that regard). Human resources professional, and I like to think I am more Holly than Toby. Dog (and cat) lover. I read too much for my own good. No longer a newlywed, but very happily married. An apprentice food, wine, and beer snob, (no) thanks to my husband. I also like long walks on the beach ... though I usually prefer a hike through the woods or a long run along the river. :)
