Since college I have had the opportunity to grow into a senior field staff for youth-at-rish in a Wilderness Therapy program, to substitute teach special education classes for Poudre School District in Fort Collins, CO, to assume director of operations for a non-competetive gymnastics program in Portland OR to use my EMT certification as a Copper Mtn Ski Patroller, and to lead 8 very fun and succesful trips for BOLD EARTH throughout Ecuador, Costa Rica, and California!


What BOLD EARTH means to me: Opportunity to challenge, succeed, have a unbelievable amount of fun, make lifelong friends and memories to live by, feel, touch, smell, see, and taste some of the most amazing things you didn't know exsited, laugh so much, and be sad on depature day because of all the growing, bonding, and fun that happened on your trip that was so sweet, and hard to leave!

What I do when I'm not at BOLD EARTH: In the winter I am a ski patroller at Copper Mtn in Colorado enjoying many days of sunshine, powder, and helping others needing medical attention. I'm also addicted to thinking about BOLD EARTH while rafting, climbing trees and rocks, fly fishing, backpacking, throwing the ball for my roommates dog, cooking real good food typical of other countries, taking long bike rides, creating artwork, and searching for any other fun and fulfilling adventures to enjoy with friends and family.

Education: Colorado State University, BA Natural Resource Recreation and Tourism with an amazing traveling semester abroad in Belize where my councelor who was a director for BOLD EARTH encouraged me into being a leader for BOLD EARTH!
