My Heart Sparks
Heather spends her time between her home in Minneapolis and cabin in the woods of NW Wisconsin, with her partner and 2 extremely lovable yet expensive rescue dogs. Heather loves small woodland creatures, Nordic noir novels, traveling to Iceland and exploring their swimming culture, perpetually watching ‘The Office’ and contributing her skills to health and social impact organizations.
