Kassia is a queer cis-woman whose hair color changes often (fun colors stick to gray hair quite well!). She enjoys being outside & is - unfortunately for her, but good for those around her - a mosquito magnet. She lives in beautiful Montana with her handsome partner (who is a mental health therapist that specializes in working with lgbtq+ individuals), three kind & wonderful children who are all amazing at being authentic in who they are, three cats, a snake, & a hamster.
