In My Own Words
*Seeking a Marketing or Community Engagement role in the outdoor industry*
Beach volleyball and camping with my friends are my favorite pastimes. In fact a volleyball is always brought so we can be sure to play with an amazing view. I love challenging myself with picking up new sports, learning professional skills, and testing out new recipes in the kitchen! I enjoy spending as much time as I can at the beach, and will smile at every dog that trots by!
Hiked up Half dome this year. Next up, Mt. Whitney!
