Biography
Otto first stepped on the runners at a mutt race in Ashton, Idaho when she was eight-years-old.
Dogs have been her passion for as long as she can remember. After graduating from Biola University in 2016, she made her way to Alaska with a goal of running the Iditarod. Otto has spent the last two years working for Jeff King, which is both humbling and even surreal at times. “I like the idea of being a sponge – absorbing anything and everything from Jeff and the dogs. Iditarod is certainly the pinnacle of my mushing endeavors and it’s been a long-awaited dream, but at the end of the day, I just love running dogs. It’s cathartic. Recognizing each dog for who they are as individuals and maximizing those potentials to build a team is by far the most rewarding aspect for me as a musher. Every morning I wake up and ask myself, ‘How can I set my dogs up for success?’ I am beyond grateful to represent Husky Homestead and am thrilled to tackle the trail with the best teammates in the world!”
