Lilianna grew up in Haines working with baby Alaskan animals such as Lynx, Fox and Porcupine at the young age of 6. She worked in animal husbandry until she graduated at 16 and started a new chapter in Thailand where she became a Yoga teacher.
Her father is a Master Falconer which has given her the unique opportunity to work with birds of prey of various sizes most of her life. However, if you ask her, she will say smaller birds of prey are her favorite. Often helping her father with various tasks, her love for animals and birds grew into a deep passion. Lilianna would often visit the Bald Eagle Foundation as a young girl, exploring the Museum and dreaming of her dream job of working with animals and birds of prey.
On her spare time, she likes to bake Sourdough Bread, crochet fun projects of various designs and play guitar on the beach with friends.
