With over nine years of experience as the founding executive director of Adaptive Expeditions, I lead a dynamic and innovative nonprofit organization that uses sport and recreation to offer health and wellness programs to individuals with physical and sensory disabilities. Through education and outdoor recreation adventures, we empower our participants with both technical skills and personal confidence to maintain active, independent lifestyles.As an adaptive paddling expert and instructor trainer educator, I have developed and delivered multiple adaptive paddling workshops, courses, and publications across the country. I have also leveraged my background in environmental law and advocacy to promote accessibility and inclusion in the paddlesports industry and beyond. My passion is to work with diverse stakeholders and partners to create a culture of inclusion and positive social change through the power of outdoor recreation and education. In 2018, I won the American Canoe Association (ACA) President's Award for making significant contributions to disability paddlesports education at the national level.
