Founder of Morty’s Bark & Brew
Air was born and raised in Northern Thailand and has loved animals (especially dogs) since she was young. But she didn’t know just how much until April 2011, when a young rambunctious little mutt named Morty picked Air to be her mama.
“I hit the jackpot, BIG TIME! Since day one, I believed that Morty had plans to teach me the good, the bad, and the ugly truth of dog ownership. No reservations. And she has outdone herself!”
Being Morty’s mama has led Air on an incredible journey that, through many ups and downs, has opened her eyes to holistic health and wellness and ultimately enriched both her life and Morty’s. Now, she’s committed to sharing that approach with others through Morty’s Bark & Brew.
Air’s background includes a Bachelor of Fine Art (Computer Art) degree, which allows her to create something beautiful out of nothing and appreciate the beauty of the unknown. She later earned a Masters Degree in IT Security, providing her with a solid understanding of the importance of a “safety first” culture.
Being a mechanical designer has given Air an eye for details and precision. She has served as a liaison between multiple on-going large construction projects and corporate business services. Air uses her keen observation skills and influencing ability to harness the power of collaboration and teamwork.
Air is excited to partner with people and organizations who share her passion for holistic animal wellness and safety. To start a conversation, please send an email to introduce yourself or connect with Air on LinkedIn.
