Personal History

Wendy grew up in a family of privilege, her father a well known medical doctor and her mother well known in the community for her work in nonprofits. She and her family have maintained close ties despite living apart.

Wendy went through high school, an average student, as well as an athlete in basketball and swimming. She met her husband in high school and they were inseparable although they were only each other’s best friend at the time, giving each other dating advice through high school. They began their university studies at different schools, although they soon realized their friendship was much more. Wendy transferred to Steven’s school and completed her bachelor’s degree as well her master’s in Psychology, choosing the Forensics specialty after completing an internship with a law firm.

Her husband Steven completed his studies and majored in architecture. He completed an internship and then worked for several construction companies until he decided to begin his own company. Wendy quit her current employment to help her husband get his venture off the ground. With her experiences, she ended up hugely valuable, as she was the finance manager and human resources manager for the company, and handled any legalities that came up. She was good at making sure things got done, whether she had to do it herself or find someone to do it. She continued to work with her husband through the birth of two children (Benjamin and Maxwell), but as they became older, her time at the company dwindled until she only oversaw employee relations (i.e. hiring and firing).

As her children grew older, Wendy started looking for something more. After much research and conversations with Steven, Ben, and Max, Wendy studied for Star Fleet entrance. The entrance examinations were not difficult and she was admitted to Star Fleet Academy at the age of 29. Working as human resources manager for Steven made up her mind to study psychology.

Wendy is one of the first to admit that this was the hardest thing she’d done in her life, as she was away from ‘her boys’ (husband and two sons) during the week and some weekends. They couldn’t have been more supportive though and helped her the entire way. She worked hard to be present at events they each had. It wasn’t easy though; balancing a family and brand-new career. Her youngest son, Max, had major surgery following a sports accident. She made several trips home, studying in the hospital or at home, alongside her son’s bed. Despite difficulties, Wendy graduated among the top of her class.

After her graduation, she received her first commission on board the USS Yorktown. The mission was a terribly long one for Wendy. She and her husband decided she would serve at least one commission and then see what happened. Both Wendy and Steven agreed to not take their sons from the school they were attending. After nine long months, the USS Yorktown completed its tour and Wendy returned to her family. She was appreciative of the captain and his leadership, but knew she knew that serving on a star ship was not doable for her and her family…at least not at this time. She began applying for other jobs in Star Fleet and was finally s given a job with the Administrative branch of Star Fleet. This overjoyed Wendy, as she found the tasks enjoyable and it gave her easier access to her family than being stationed on a ship. Even so, she did find herself enviable of the cadets as they set foot on their ship assignments. When she was assigned to observe a ship’s personnel, she was happy to do so as she got her chance just as cadets. She was even allowed to bring her family along on a few occasions. Time went by and before Wendy realized, she had steadily been promoted. She was living the dream: a great family and terrific job.
