Biography
Not much is known about her past. What is known is that in 2372 she graduated from Caltech. She joined the Atlantis Expedition in 2384 with the hope of exploring other planets and interacting with the people. She was chosen to join Major Anne Teldy's team.

On one mission, she encountered a Wraith lab operated by Michael Kenmore before he abandoned it. When the team requested help from Colonel John Sheppard and the clone of Dr. Carson Beckett, she grew fond of Carson, who also grew fond of her. She was being stalked by Michael's experiments but, with help from her team, was eventually able to take them all down. She then went back to Earth for some down time but Beckett requested her as part of this team when she returned.

She was mentioned by Dr. Rodney McKay and Colonel John Sheppard, who were arguing with each other about why Sheppard went on a resupply mission. McKay thought that he wanted to see her.
