Favorite hobbies
I love backpacking, exploring new trails, running, painting and drawing, playing sports, making arts and crafts, and playing board games.
Favorite outdoor achievement
Running in the Hoh Rainforest to Blue Glacier and back in a day.
Favorite outdoor memory
Climbing Mount Rainier with some of my best friends. The landscape was unlike anything I’d ever seen, and the shared struggle of starting the climb at midnight and pushing through fatigue all day was awesome. We even said hi to a marmot while going down the mountain, which had been one of my life’s goals for years.
Favorite place in the world
The Wind River Range in Wyoming. Along with it being one of the most rugged and beautiful places out there, I had most of my first outdoor adventures and met some of my closest friends there.
What are you most looking forward to this summer?
I can’t wait to build a community with instructors and students who love the outdoors as much as I do!
