“I’m a stay-at-home mom who every few years takes on a big thing and pieces it together somehow.  I’ve been home with my daughter since she was born, almost entirely.  It’s been very lucky.  I said to myself, ‘I want to be with my family and work on projects I love doing.  And if this kind of work means very infrequently being away for intense periods of time, it’s not a bad trade.”
