Facilitator. Question asker. Experience creator. Leader. Partner, daughter, sister, aunt, devoted friend. Ocean lover. Kettlebell enthusiast. West Wing super fan. (Very) reluctant cat parent. I live at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming, USA. There are easily more large four-legged animals here than there are humans. My most recent full-time gig was at a non-profit (NOLS) focused on helping people learn wilderness and leadership skills that serve a greater purpose. My work focused on creating custom courses for other orgs and I loved gaining insight into those companies. This work allowed me to travel and teach a great deal and that was a great balance to rural living.
