My name is Hayley Lake, and I was born in Moline, Illinois. My family then moved to Spokane Washington were I graduated from high school.  I began my first career in 1986, when I left Spokane and moved to St. Louis, MO, where I was employed as a flight attendant for Trans World Airlines (TWA). I worked for TWA for 8 years and then got married. I spent most of my time living in Hawaii, on a sail boat with a five-year stay in South Florida, and then back to the Big Island of Hawaii, where I began my second career as owner/operator of a coffee plantation. I returned to school and went to U of H. I moved back to the Spokane area, where I completed my education at Eastern Washington University. I then began my third career. I worked several years at the methadone maintenance clinic at Spokane Regional Health District as a counselor and then started my fourth and hopefully last career as an instructor at EWU.

When I am not teaching, writing lectures, or grading papers, I like to cook. For sports I enjoy running, skiing, and golfing. In the summer I have a large beautiful flower garden that keeps me busy. My children consist of two dogs, big dogs, Great Pyrenees, and four cats, and a husband; don't worry, I am not a crazy hoarder lady. I live on 40 acres, and only one cat lives in the house.
