Ulrika has been with the department since 2004. She holds a BA in Philosophy from UCLA. She is a happy transplant to the Northwest, where the weather and flora resemble those of her native Sweden. In her copious free time, Ulrika likes reading, writing, knitting, jewelry-making, fiddling with various projects around her house and garden, and sculpting full-scale models of moose out of matchsticks. Okay, kidding about the moose. Just checking to see if you read that far.
