Dr. Karine Rashkovsky, PhD. is the proud daughter of a brave man whose memories laid the foundation of An Improbable Life. With a French first name, Russian last name, and West Coast abode, her own trans-continental story is but a thread in a wider tapestry of incredible intergenerational tales — legend-worthy anecdotes that pull heart strings, offer laughs, and reveal tidbits of tantalizing history. While she has long been the author of a variety of published works, Karine is also an award-winning entrepreneur, educator, academic, artist, speaker, and executive coach. If asked to spend hours exploring history, nature, and nerdy podcasts, you can bet she’d say “da!”
