Summary

I’m a dedicated, people-first professional with a background in housing, outdoor instruction, and emergency response. I’ve worked closely with individuals from all walks of life, especially youth, and take pride in building real connections, even in tough or high-stress situations. Whether I’m helping someone find stable housing, teaching a student how to ski, or working on the front lines during wildfires, I bring patience, structure, and empathy to the job. I thrive in environments where teamwork, trust, and clear communication matter, and I’m driven by work that makes a positive impact.
