Open to New Experiences

One of the most important parts about Ranae is that she doesn’t believe in the existence of bigfoot. She often believes that the sasquatches are not real animals, and doubts the existence of the bigfoot. Her disbelief often makes people wonder as to why she was included in the team. But what Ranae lacks in passion, she covers up in her analyzing abilities. She keeps an open mind about everything and analyzes any data that come across her desk. In a way, Ranae gives a neutral approach in a cast filled with Bigfoot fanatics.

Getting in on the Act

Back when Bigfoot was the talk of the town, Ranae’s father introduced young Ranae to bigfoot documentaries. Above everything, the late-night documentaries became a source of bonding for the pair. Born and raised in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Ranae is a professional research biologist. She has spent enormous time on the field. A specialist in understanding the interactions between brown bears and salmon, Ranae uses her decades of experience to understand the potential interdependence between sasquatches and fish.

Finding evidence across the world:

Over the years, Ranae has traveled to several locations around the world including Prince of Wales Island, British Columbia, the Olympic Peninsula, and the Coast Mountains of Oregon. In all her travels, Ranae makes frequent contact with biologists, locals, and Native American Tribal representatives. She listens to stories of Bigfoot encounters and uses the details to clarify her own beliefs about the existence of sasquatches. Her openness to people’s encounters has played a major role in Ranae’s promotion as the co-host of Finding Bigfoot.

Life Beyond Finding Bigfoot

Unlike most of her co-stars, Ranae’s life has not always revolved around Bigfoot. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences at the University of Washington. After graduation, Ranae was selected for the distinguished Alaska Salmon Program. Her adventures have taken Ranae across the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Over the years, Ranae narrowed down her field of research and is currently focused on the steelhead in the Umpqua River in south-central Oregon. She also works for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as a dedicated field biologist. When she is not extensively analyzing data, Ranae spends her free time Spey and fly fishing, hiking, camping, and kayaking. She often interacts with students and loves talking about her research.
