Hi my name is Sally, my email is sallymaki(at)berkeley(dot)edu, feel free to touch base. I'm very excited about this school and meeting such a cool crowd :-).

I am currently a second year master's student in the Energy and Resources Group at Berkeley, CA (http://erg.berkeley.edu), an interdisciplinary program. My undergrad is in Chemical Engineering from U. Dayton, Ohio, which is also where I grew up. I'm currently working on a carbon footprint calculator (see http://coolclimate.berkeley.edu). In the past I've worked on indoor air pollution in developing countries, and precision farming modeling. I like to hang out with my neighbors, watch a lot of movies, "play" on my computer, or explore. As far as outdoor activities, I prefer things that don't involve flying objects (or running) ;-)

I am interested in:

- Sustainability
- Resource management
- Information technology
- Education
- International development
- Social systems and movements
- Design

How they relate to each other. In particular, I am interested in how information technology can be utilized to improve resource management of all kinds, including human resources, which ties into why I am so interested in education and social systems.
