Marian grew up in Billings, Montana, where she developed her fly-fishing mania and general love of the outdoors. She received her bachelor's degree in Environmental Science from Hamilton College and is working toward a master's degree in Science and Medical Journalism from Boston University. Marian is published in Magic City magazine and is a contributing writer for Book of Odds.com, and for a visual, science encyclopedia for middle school students.
