Summary
Driven by a deep love for the outdoors and personal backcountry experience, I thrive on helping others connect with nature in meaningful ways. As a Certified Wilderness First Responder (CWFR), I bring leadership skills, a great sense of humor, and a passion for creating safe, fun, and memorable experiences. I believe the outdoors is key to both physical and mental well-being and enjoy balancing group safety with ensuring everyone has a great time.
My success as a mentor and tutor to both neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals demonstrates my ability to connect compassionately with diverse populations.
