Six years ago, Laura Vandezande wasn’t expecting to move to Catalina Island, but when her teaching job took her there, she embraced it. Besides her work as a special ed teacher, she also leads jeep and hiking tours. She loves the landscape, thebirds, and especially the adorable little Catalina Island Fox.
