On a personal note, Heather is a transplant from extreme Northern Utah. Growing up in the country wasn’t always easy, but it taught her a thing or two about majority culture, majority religion and feeling different. After many years of trying, failing, and struggling, Heather finally found her way into a life that she loves. Hell yes! That life just happens to involve the fine Salt Lake City, a 1920’s Tudor moneypit, a community garden, one giant bernedoodle, a cat, a couple of kids and the partner of her dreams. Oh, and the absolute best clients in the world.
