From a young age, I’ve been motivated by a desire to support others and bring a sense of joy and connection to the world around me. I graduated from Michigan State University (Go Green!) with a degree in Kinesiology, where I discovered a passion for adaptive and inclusive recreation. During my time at MSU, I worked as a teaching assistant for a course called Sports Skills, where college students partnered with individuals with cognitive or developmental disabilities of all ages to participate in adaptive sports together. Watching people gain confidence, try something new, and connect through movement reminded me why I love this work, it’s about celebrating ability, growth, and having shared experience. That impact stayed with me and ultimately inspired me to join Challenge Aspen. I’m excited to help create meaningful moments, build community, and support participants as they discover strength, independence, and joy through activity and movement!
