Marianne is a storyteller for Alaska Airlines, with a background in public relations and marketing. She started with the airline in 1986 as an intern out of WSU's School of Communications - so she's been around awhile. She currently works part-time and she and her husband travel a lot, mostly chasing their sons—one a fighter pilot in the Marines, the other a filmmaker and outdoor adventurer. She is a volunteer running coach for high schoolers and has run three marathons. Profile photo: Top of Mt. Townsend, Olympic National Forest
