A motivated leader in the adventure & leisure travel industry that utilizes organizational, communication, and project management skills to provide the highest quality curated experiences...I have always had a passion for exploring the outdoors, appreciating natural beauty, and taking on whatever adventures I can. It is this passion that has dedicated me to a career of providing curated travel and adventure travel experiences for folks of all age groups and backgrounds. This passion has culminated in me leading a team of 10 students in fundraising for pediatric cancer research followed by a 6-day trek to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro with an organization named Choose a Challenge USA while I was a student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Both prior to and since then I have worked to pursue similar adventure challenges in my personal and professional life. In my post-college life, my travels have taken me to Spain, Portugal, South Korea, Peru (Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu), and the UK (where I ran the Edinburgh Marathon). Many of these trips came during my time working for Choose a Challenge USA after my Kilimanjaro trek, where I became the Student Leadership Program Manager and managed 40+ student leaders and their teams at universities across the US as they worked towards their own adventures.After my time as a program manager, sales coordinator, and trip support, I continued to hone my hands-on guiding skills by becoming a backcountry guide with Overland Summers for the summer of 2021. As a backcountry guide, I led two groups of students on two three-week trips through Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park during which we covered over 200 miles of backcountry trails, summitted the Grand Teton (twice), and also kayaked through the whitewater of the Snake River. Throughout all of these journeys, the most impactful moments have come from the relationships I've formed with the many many wonderful people I have been lucky enough to meet along the way. I look forward to building those same relationships with the coworkers, clients, and partners I work with to provide such adventures going forward.
