A native Michigander, I got my degree in environmental studies and sustainability from Northern Michigan University! In this winter-water wonderland I spent most of my time skiing, swimming, hiking, and biking all around the Upper Peninsula. After college I headed west and found myself living out of a tent on the trails by summer and ski instructing by winter. I’ve spent seasons in southern Utah, Idaho, Alaska, Wyoming, and Northern Utah! Summer of 2023 was my first season at TSS and I decided to return to continue inspiring curiosity for science and the outdoors! When I’m not teaching you can find me spending time in the woods, by the river, or scream singing songs at karaoke.
