I spent several years living, working and study abroad and in different parts of the U.S. before returning to the west slope. Along the way I obtained my B.A. in geography from the University of Colorado and an M.S. in agroecology from the Norwegian University of Life Sciences and worked in several non-profit settings in healthcare, education, and social impact sectors.
Outside work, I am an endurance athlete, and compete in Nordic skiing, trail running, gravel biking, and triathlon. I spend most of my free time having grand adventures outside and want to make the outdoors a space that welcomes, celebrates, and is accessible to all.
