Rebecca is married to her wonderful husband, Casey, who works as a chief engineer on vessels (the big boats!). Together they share their home with four beloved fur babies—dogs, Nisha and Finnegan, and cats, Nala and Shiloh. Rebecca grew up in the Portland, OR area, and has spent most of her adult life in Seattle. She lived and taught English in Hong Kong for four years. Rebecca has a BA in Christian Education and an MEd in TESOL, and her career includes ministry experience—as a Director of Children’s Ministries—and higher education, teaching ESL and serving in various administrative roles at community and technical colleges. She’s an avid traveler, a lover of historical fiction, and happiest when taking long walks with the pups.
