Family
My husband and favorite economist, Ryan Sandler, works at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). His research agenda includes environmental and transportation economics. RePEc, Google Scholar
My parents have become farmers as a new post-retirement career/hobby. Their farm, Bluestone Meadow in Placerville, California, specializes in lavender and pumpkins, and is available for special events, especially weddings.
My mother in law, Karen Sandler, is a self-professed genre-conflicted author. Her young adult science fiction, romance, and mystery books can all be found on her webpage: http://www.karensandler.net/
My brother in law, Michael Reilly, is a freelance graphic designer and founder/owner of Trí Déag Designs.
