Sandy is a retired forester with a solid background in journalism. Her education includes a Bachelor of Science in Forestry from Northern Arizona University, postgraduate work in English, business, and journalism, a master’s degree in organizational management (Natural Resources) from Chadron State College in Nebraska, and an honorary degree from the School of Hard Knocks, on campuses across the American west and high plains.
Since the mid-1970s she has worked as a forester in Arizona, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, and Nebraska while moonlighting as a reporter, editor, publisher, and freelance non-fiction writer. Numerous newspapers and magazines have published her articles, and she received several awards from the Nebraska Press Women.
In 2018, she and her husband, Barry, relocated to the mountains of western North Carolina, where they live with their two bossy dachshunds. Recently, she’s begun ‘branching out"—sharing tales at storyteller gatherings and writing publicity releases for the local community theater.
In 2021, she published her first book: My Mother’s Keeper: One Family’s Journey Through Dementia, available on Amazon and through her web page.
She is currently working on her next book, Girls Can’t Do That, a collection of mostly humorous short stories about her life as one of America’s first female foresters.
