About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling to figure out what I want to do and where I want to be in life.

ABOUT ME

I'm 25 years old and just came off a terrible year of teaching high school in Memphis, TN. I decided to quit my job as a classroom teacher to follow my passion and do something I enjoy. I currently work as an outdoor educator, leading teen backpacking trips all over the country.

I'm an outdoors person and I train pretty regularly for long distance trail running events. I also enjoy cycling, both mountain and road, as well as rock climbing and skiing.

PHILOSOPHY

Live easy, run hard

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ran with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you all about most outdoor activities, from Leave No Trace ethics in the backcountry to building bomber top rope anchors. I want to increase my Spanish skills as well as my skiing abilities. I'm also very interested in medical things and have considered going back to school for something in the med world.
