I am a passionate splitboarder, writer, and outdoor educator based in Mammoth Lakes, California. After spending many years working as a youth and adult backpacking guide in Yosemite National Park, I worked in outdoor education administration where I planned multi-day outdoor education experiences, wrote risk management protocols, and developed hands-on, STEM-focused curriculum for students ages 10 to 18, Most recently, I transitioned to writing about sustainability, the environment, and outdoor gear for a variety of online publications. I am passionate about elevating the voices of women and underrepresented groups in the outdoors, and helping folks from all walks of life develop their decision-making skills in the mountains and beyond.
