Goffinet was born in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland, and emigrated to the States in 1979, where she met her husband Ian. In 1988, she initiated a reading program, “Book Buddies” for underserved children in Greenville, South Carolina. The program was recognized in 1993 as “volunteer program of the year” by the South Carolina Education Board.
After graduating Phi Betta Kappa from Furman University with B.A. in Political Science and History and spending many years volunteering for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Goffinet retired to Litchfield Beach in Pawleys Island.
These days, she likes to spend her time researching the devastating effects of plastic debris in the ocean, leading the South Carolina United Turtle Enthusiasts (SCUTE) team at Litchfield by the Sea, developing the “Plastic- Free- Pawleys” project to encourage local shopkeepers to discontinue their use of plastic shopping bags, and of course, writing about Sullie.
I love Sullie and his Secret Society of birds! Children will love the pranks Sullie and his bird friends play on humans to show them just how destructive their behaviors can be to our beautiful ocean and the marine life.
