Author Biography

Though born in the United States, Rosalie Klein is proud to be thought of as an “Arubiana.” Having lived on the island for more than 30 years and had two children there, Rosalie is firmly entrenched in Aruban life. She moved to Aruba in 1980 to work as the island’s first female certified PADI Open-Water SCUBA instructor. Her writing career began in 2001 when she began submitting articles to local papers about tourism events, and she worked as a journalist and photographer for English newspaper The News until 2009. Since 2010, she has been the principal reporter and photographer for The Morning News—her work there is extremely diverse, drawing her into every aspect of island life. Rosalie has written articles about Aruba’s people, history, culture, and tourism services that have been published in dozens of Aruban annual and monthly publications, including Aruba Events, Aruba Experience, Destinations, House Complete, Chef’s Menu and Recipe, On The Air, Island Gourmet, and Aruba Nights. The Minister of Culture of Aruba recognized her for her photography, and her work has been exhibited at the Aruba Numismatic Museum. Rosalie currently lives on the island with her son, two dogs, and three adopted cats; the entire menagerie gets along very well. She can be contacted at [e-mail].
