What prompted you to switch from modelling to taking care of sled dogs?
I would say it was a fluke! No, honestly, it was not something I saw coming or would have
anticipated! I came back home to Wisconsin from runway modelling in Italy in 1999. I
needed a break from this hectic lifestyle and travelling I had confined myself to. In doing
so, I decided to take a break for one year.
It was during that year I bought a Siberian husky puppy and named him Ethan. He was
just my house pet. I met a woman in the area who had 75 sled dogs. She was a
professional sprint musher. I used to think sledding was only in movies. She became my
mentor and taught me how to take care of the dogs, feed them, harness them and run
them with the sled. From there, my mind went into over drive!
