About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Ski for the winter in colorado

ABOUT ME

Always up for adventure! Born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska, and after finally finishing school my goal is to avoid getting a job immediately or going back to graduate school. I love new experiences and finding ways to try new things, especially when it comes to new places.

I am a strong advocate for spreading knowledge about climate change and the real issues we face in the future. Living sustainably and conservation are things I am very passionate about.

A defining thing in my life has been hockey, I grew up playing hockey in Fairbanks and was able to continue playing through college. It is one of my greatest loves and I was able to coach girls youth hockey in Fairbanks.

My boyfriend and I trying to be ski bums in Colorado but unfortunately chose the most expensive place, Eagle County! We are ski instructors part time at Beaver Creek.

PHILOSOPHY

Smile, work hard, have fun, being positive, live sustainably, do your part, be respectful.
