Biography
How did you get your start in this career field? I started as a volunteer with Crested Butte’s Adaptive program and then got a position with AmeriCorps that landed me with the National Ability Center in Park City. I have been an instructor ever since!
What inspired you to pursue the career you have today? I fell in love with the creativity teaching involves, connection with others, and the ability to work in the mountain environment. I have always loved snowsports since I was a child and decided to make it my career.
What’s something you’ve always wanted to try but haven’t yet? Scuba diving! I have so many different sports and hobbies that I love, but have still never tried scuba diving.
What surprised you most about working in this industry? When I began my career as an instructor I didn’t realize that I would have the opportunity to work in other countries. Working in the industry has allowed me to travel and connect with others all over the world.
What lesson are you most grateful for learning? I am grateful to learn that all abilities and body types can slide on snow and enjoy the mountain environment. Adaptations can be made to allow everyone the same opportunity.
Please list your hidden talent(s): Outside of the snowsport industry I have climbed peaks over 20,000 ft, guide adventure mutli-sports trips around the world, and love rowing a boat down rivers.
