About

MY BACKGROUND

With a passion for local food justice, reconnecting children with the outdoors, and getting outside whenever possible, I possess both the skill set and lived experience to dive deep into outdoor recreation, education, and environmental studies; while understanding the intersections between the three. Self-motivated, hard-working, and handy in a pinch; equipped with creativity and a love of adventure, I envision an exciting future of collaboration in outdoor leadership.
