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!”
