After three summers in Juneau developing the number one rated “heli-mushing” tour, she is now one of the main Alaskan presenters for Princess Cruises, and enjoys being one of the leading representatives of her sport to the thousands of visitors every summer.

She expresses her love of Alaska through the 28 children's books she has illustrated, seven of which she has also written.
