A fun way to explore Portland, Oregon through it's vibrant Dive Bar scene.

KC Shomler graduated from UC Berkeley with a philosophy degree and plans for law school that morphed into healthcare. Another bachelor's degree in nursing from Seattle University and a master's from the University of Washington prepared her for a career as a nurse practitioner. Much of her focus was on care of people at the end of life via hospice and palliative care. She lives in southwestern Washington state with her cute family and a little dog with an outsized ego who runs the house.KC is the author of Falling Out of Love With My Career, her story of leaving a career that no longer fit. She welcomed the fall of 2023 with a more light-hearted book, the Portland Dive Bars Passport; a self-guided tour and highly opinionated look at the (beloved) seedier side of Portland, Oregon.
