Curriculum Vitae1 for Sarah Blake2

Note 1: No, I'm not going to call it a 'résumé', far less a 'resume'. 'Curriculum vitae' was good enough for the Romans, and it's good enough for me.

Note 2: Not that I'm actually available at the moment, given I've got a rather nice job that I've no intention of leaving. But feel free to cry at what you're missing.
