Asli Johnston
Tolkien Society
US Time Zone Lead & High Steward ( Online )
USA
Asli (she/her) is a Chief Officer aboard the merchant ships.
For those familiar with how a cargo ship's command line works ; a Chief Officer is first in command after the Captain, in charge of anything you can imagine excluding the Captain. For the ones not familiar; she is Riker to your Picard.
As being a mariner, and coming from a family of all marine/navy officers, one could say she is a born and raised Numenorean, and is known as " Lady of Andúnië ".
She has been a Tolkien reader since her teens, now lives in a house that has rooms named after places in Middle Earth, and owns a car named Strider.
She has been following Tolkien Society from a far, in 2021 she decided that long due membership had to turn into action, and she is now the US Time Zone Lead, giving the Americas a nudge out of the door (,
