ASHLEYKATE BRUMETT
Summary
I have strong communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills gained from working several years in the customer service industry. I'm a natural teacher with a positive and patient demeanor. I have backpacked and traveled extensively, thus developing backcountry skills, cultural intelligence, empathy, and relentless curiosity. In 2021, I completed the 2193 mile Appalachian Trail, and in 2024 the 800 mile Arizona Trail. I have also backpacked 1000+ miles on trails all over the US, Spain, and Sri Lanka. Additionally, I am a Certified Yoga Teacher and delight in the opportunity to support others in connecting with themselves and their bodies.
