Little did her parents know that her name would portend her career choice. Showing an aptitude for chemistry at an early age, she wrote her doctoral thesis after researching the biochemistry of plant poisons.

And, her research continues in retirement, so beware if she invites you into her greenhouse …. all the plants there are certain to be deadly!
