She grew up in the rugged wilderness of Haines, Alaska where she developed a love for adventure, flying, and animals. You might even believe she mushed a dog sled from her igloo to school every day. Her desire to explore the big wide open led her to the military where she navigated the graceful and majestic C-130 Hercules transport plane for one score and a seven years. She is part of a loud, hearty, boisterous family that, in spite of her quirky personality, continue to visit, share adventures, and bless her with amazing memories. In her next chapter she hopes to harness her doodling and musing talents by fulfilling a dream of sharing her silly stories, and some joy, with some very special earth dwellers.
