La Porte County Life — Jessica Rosier ’11 ’18, the Director of the Barker Mansion, has not always been a Hoosier. She was born and raised in northern Minnesota, which is where she first fell in love with nature. Rosier’s passion for nature compelled her into earning her master’s degree in geography with a concentration in tourism planning and development from St. Cloud State University.
Rosier recently gained her Hoosier status when she and her husband moved here not too long ago.
“About six years ago, my husband got transferred for work in Northwest Indiana, which is when I became a Hoosier,” she said.
Rosier and her husband initially resided in Valparaiso where she worked at the Dunes State Park, but then she was promoted and transferred to Indianapolis with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.
