Lieutenant Anaanda Ziff pictured in her service record

Anaanda Ziff was a Starfleet lieutenant (serial RT 825-081) who was serving aboard the starship Enterprise-D in 2369. She had previously served on the starships Malone, Petersen and Clavin. Ziff was born on Omicron Ceti III, the daughter of Marsha I. and Benjamin A. Ziff. Ziff's specialty is sciences, quantum mechanics and special physics research, and her serial number is RT-825-081. In the course of her Starfleet career, she has received the Sepek Academic Scholarship, the Extended Tour Ribbon with Cluster, the Okuda Award for subspace resistance research and the Daystrom Award for quantum physics. Sometime during the construction of the starship Enterprise-D, she served as the head of the team at Utopia Planitia that installed the ship's secondary cargo transporter. (TNG:"Eye of the Beholder").

Ziff's service record was displayed on a monitor screen reading out personnel information. Some references appeared to be in-jokes based on the Paramount television series Cheers.
Omicron Ceti III was depicted in TOS:"This Side of Paradise" as incapable of supporting human life, it raises the question whether this personnel file (which was shown during a dream sequence) was entirely accurate. Of course, it's just as likely that some way was found by the 24th century to colonize this world.
