I’m a Denver-based outdoor enthusiast and guide, runner, writer, and mindfulness meditation teacher. I serve as Executive Director of Women’s Wilderness, a nonprofit located in Boulder, Colorado offering transformational experiences that cultivate a greater sense of agency, community, and engagement in nature among women, girls, and nonbinary people.
