RE: My vita
Number of pages, including cover page: 6
Message:
Here is my vita, as requested. I didn't know if you wanted the
whole thing, with publications, so decided to send it. The first
page contains all of the information except publications, which are
on the remaining four pages.
I look forward to hearing from you.
With best wishes,
Jessica Utts
