In My Own Words

My career in the Outdoor Recreation Industry began almost 5 years ago as a biking and backpacking instructor at a summer camp. Since then I have worked at Snowshoe Mountain as a ski instructor as well as running the mountain biking program at Radford University Outdoor Programs. I am well versed in the planning and facilitation of several different types of events and programs and as a recent graduate, I am ready to begin moving into a professional role in the industry.
