The first born daughter of a former victim of
Polio who went on to become a March of Dimes
poster child and disability rights activist, and
a Father with a PhD in Physics, Heather was
introduced early on to an eclectic life.
Born in 1974 and a member of the Sesame Street and Smurf generation, she was raised alongside a younger sister and a menagerie of pets including raccoons, ferrets, snakes, lizards and cats.
Having several animals of the non-human kind as best friends she began working as a Veterinary Technician and took that love of animals with her to college.
With the realization that helping animals also involved watching animals suffer, Heather switched gears completely and attended culinary school. She then spent some time working the restaurant scene in the Washington DC area.
After marriage to her husband Jon, she naturally-birthed her first child and decided to become a stay-at-home mom.
Always attempting to make her daydreams reality. In 2004 Heather and her family sold their house, cars and material possessions, and took off on an 8-month jaunt around the world. Her travels have taken her from the Sahara desert to the Amazon Jungle from lonesome Easter Island to boisterous Cairo.
Today Heather is the proud home-schooling mother of a boy and mom to a girl, now a toddler. She remains a passionate defender and lover of the natural world. She is an independent thinker, hypothesizing philosopher and scientist at heart. Her creativity takes many directions including photography and cooking. Her addictions include the Internet and Starbucks.
