Heather Jacks
Heather was raised on Indian Land in southeastern Oregon, until age fifteen, when she left and spent a year in Australia as an ‘experimental exchange student’, an experience that shaped her into a lifelong wanderer. Upon her return, she earned a Bachelor's Degree in Communication Studies & Journalism, from CSU Sacramento and a Masters Degree in Rhetoric & Communication, from UC Davis. She has traveled extensively and worked a variety of jobs. During the eighties, she worked in radio, followed by a foray into the music industry, where she spent time in A&R, booking, concert production and as a glorified babysitter. Eventually, she worked as a music journalist for a major independent record label and several online publications. She has also written a few books. Today, travel continues to be a way of life, as she lives on the open roads full time and explores this great country from the driver's seat of her 19-foot Skoolie named Bubba.
