Kathleen Marlett

Kathleen grew up in Rockwall, Texas, but her favorite childhood memories come from visits to her grandparent’s house near Lake Bridgeport. There, her grandfather, playing the role of a pirate, would lead her and her siblings on summer treasure hunts along the lake’s edge. These adventures, filled with plastic jewelry and chocolate coins, were magical to her. Kathleen’s favorite travel destination is Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland, where the peaceful, snowy Alps offered her a dreamlike winter experience.
