Tabi/Hooks
UC Prospect: Not a traditional student, but Tabi spends significant time on campus. A few years ago, she did a lot of coursework for her state EMT certification. And currently, she's spending even more time on campus - as she works through the her state Paramedic cert coursework. So, she's on (or around) campus a lot interacting with teachers, staff and students.
Firefighter: Tabi works for the Prospect Fire Department, for at least for 8-11 months a year (see the next hook), as a firefighter and EMT. So, you could have always crossed paths with her in the course of her job.
Smokejumper: Tabi spends some of her time during wildfire season seconded to the Forest Service as a smokejumper. Smokejumpers are the craziest of the crazy - firefighters that parachute into remote areas to fight wildfires that can't be easily reached by other means.
Outdoorswoman: Tabi spends much of her precious free time outdoors - hiking, camping, mountain biking, surfing, scuba and free diving and even skydiving.
