Born in Bellevue, WA, I have lived most of my life around the Puget Sound. I currently live on beautiful Whidbey Island and enjoy gardening and spending time outside with my family. I show Wallaroo Hats at 5-6 wholesale tradeshows throughout the Pacific Northwest each year, and meet with buyers at their locations as well.

AMY STICKLER
Florida
I was born and raised on the Florida coast, where I grew up in a retail environment and owned my own store. This background gives me the unique opportunity to intrinsically know what the Florida customer is looking for. I am happy and excited to help my customers grow their Wallaroo business with the styles and colors that work best for their venue. We can help protect people from the harmful rays of the sun while maintaining the outdoor lifestyle we all love and enjoy.

BONNIE BOWLES
Hawaii
I came to Hawaii on vacation 40 years ago and never left. I taught school for several years, and accidentally stumbled into sales and it turned out to be a good fit for me. I have been selling surf and resort wear and accessories ever since. I enjoy sunshine and all beach related activities as well as hiking, playing pickleball, and playing Mahjong.

GIGI DUNCAN
Caribbean
Gigi first lived in the Caribbean island of St. Kitts in the early 1980s when her parents were working and living there. Her connection with the Caribbean lifestyle was immediate and Gigi returned as a full-time resident in Nevis in 1995. Her passion was retail (with three stores between St. Kitts and Nevis) and one of her best-selling brands was, of course, Wallaroo Hats. When the position presented itself of working as Wallaroo’s Caribbean Sales’ Rep, Gigi leapt at the chance. She has invaluable first-hand knowledge from being a retailer herself, and enjoys assisting her accounts up and down the island chain.
