Health: works out and eats right, so is in excellent health; no allergies; Lost her first child when her home burned down (while she and her husband were out celebrating their anniversary) due to a frayed electrical cord, so compulsively checks all outlets before leaving her house or office.
Family: her parents are still alive (both are 91) and in excellent health; they love to travel and, in the current timeline, are on a cruise around the world, which will take them a year; she has 2 brothers and a sister, all older and still living; has 2 children (twins, a boy, Matthew Azizi and a girl, Joy Mapenzi), 5 grandchildren (David, Mark, Kevin, Leslie and Naomi; 3 are married) and 3 great grandchildren, Siti, Zuberi and Dalila; she is a widow.
Biography: born in Kenya; her father, Zuberi (strong), and mother, Dalila (gentle) was posted to the Kenyan embassy in Washington DC and moved there with his family when she was 10. They became Christians and took new first names to reflect that (Her oldest brother, Mosi [first born] became Luke; her sister, Hadiya [gift] became Hannah; her other brother, Kito [precious] became Richard; her name was changed from Shani [marvelous] to Lena). One day, while in high school, the computers crashed. She wanted to know why, and refused to stop asking questions about the problem until, exasperated, her teacher told her to learn all about them and find out herself. She did so, and found that the more she learned, the more there was to know; she also decided that computers should be able to do much more than they were capable of at that time. That was the start of her career. She met and married her husband, Mark, while she was a graduate student. They were married for 35 years, when he died from leukemia. She and her family all live near each other, in Maryland.
Entrance: three emails appear in her mailbox at work by mistake - two were for Jeff, the other for a top officer in his staff. Although the emails were innocuous in content and also reached their intended destinations, she worked to track down the glitch and, in doing so, learned that Jeff was also head of International Rescue. She is closing in on the problem, but feels that Jeff ought to know what happened.
