About

Mina's eclectic career path began in the science world when she received her Master's Degree in Plant Sciences from Montana State University studying fungal pathogens of wheat. After parting ways with academia, she ran a slough of companies with her husband including a traveling photo booth, drone video footage service for ranch real estate, and a letterpress printing business. But the call of the Pacific Northwest was strong, so Mina moved back to her hometown outside of Seattle, Washington.

Mina lives with her husband and two daughters in Woodinville, Washington. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, meditating, or any other activity that involves silence. On weekends, Mina and her family love tide-pooling, crabbing, clamming, and mushroom foraging.
