Background

Dr. Easterling is a Florida native, spending much of her childhood in various coastal regions of the state. Finding inspiration in the natural world around her from a young age, she went on to major in Marine Science and Biology for her undergraduate career, before honing in on her specialty of anatomy and physiology during her doctorate degree. Following graduate school, Dr. Easterling went on to teach at California State University, Bakersfield prior to joining the faculty at Northwest University. During her free time she enjoys reading, going to concerts with her husband, and spending time with their cat, Rascal, and dog, Indy.
