I started as a participant in the co-ed program at NWL in 2005. After graduating high school, I attended the Leadership Program in 2010 and was hired as a trip leader in 2011. I studied adventure education at Prescott College, graduating in 2016. I work as a field instructor for a wilderness therapy program out west during the winter when it is too cold to canoe. My passion for the outdoors and working with youth in a wilderness setting comes from my experience as a participant at NWL. My career as an outdoor educator, guide, and caretaker is rooted in the philosophy that the wilderness is place of healing, growth, self awareness and discovery, and the perfect place to become the best version of yourself.
