Brigette is a first year graduate student at UNM and also attended the same university as an undergraduate where she recently received BS degrees in math and physics. She will continue her work at her alma matter in the QMC group(with Heather) for the foreseeable future.

A Portrait by Tom Jones:
Born in America's heartland with neither the will nor the constitution for the implications of living in America's heartland, Brigette soon moved to the wilds of New Mexico where her love of cats and the great indoors made for a perfect match. A misspent youth in the more gentrified parts of Albuquerque led her to pursue degrees in both mathematics and physics at the University of New Mexico while simultaneously raising up to 20 cats at a time! She is about to enter her first year as a graduate student and hopes this will not distract from her kitten farming.
