Corky Parker grew up in Northern California; Sonoma County and Berkeley in the 60's. And although she never went to a traditional high school, she was given a scholarship to Bennington College, where she studied environmental economics and served on its Board of Trustees after graduating in 1977. For much of Parker's career she was creative director for a small creative team she started in Seattle, writing and designing environmental public awareness and corporate marketing films. In 1996 she started La Finca Caribe, an offbeat, "eco-inn" on Puerto Rico’s Vieques Island, which she and her family ran for nearly 25 years. Around that she helped start KSKA, the public radio station in Anchorage, and owned a small sheep farm on Washington's Olympic Peninsula. Writing and creative design has been integrated into her work, which (whether in film, corporate carbon footprint reduction programs or eco-hospitality) has received accolades in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Seattle Times, Outside, Lonely Planet, Gourmet and China’s People’s Daily, and won various national and international awards.
