    Hello! Thanks for coming to check out what I've been up to. I have been on a ton of adventures, too many to count. I am slowly working on getting the rest of my website up-to-date, so bear with me for what I have :)

     

    After I graduated high school, I took two online college classes getting seven credits. I then did a semester with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) in 2021, getting 19 college credits. That fall, I attended college, Alaska Pacific University in Anchorage, Alaska. But decided it wasn't my thing just yet. I wanted to focus on becoming an outdoor guide. Something I have always wanted to do since I was a little girl.

    Barista times

    I am a former barista at the local coffee shop, Bering Tea and Coffee.

    I started working here in September 2021. I moved to Kennicott, AK for the summer in May 2022. After spending most of the summer in Kennicott, I came back and started back up at the shop on October 3rd. In May 2023, I left for the summer again to Ketchikan, AK. Sadly the coffee shop is closed for good, but I got to work for the full month of December 2023.

    Guiding in Kennicott, Alaska

    Outdoor Glacier Hiking/ Ice Climbing/ Packrafting Intern Guide until August 10th, 2022

    I was super stoked to work in Kennicott as an outdoor guide with the Kennicott Wilderness Guides. It had been my dream job since I was about 11 years old. Unfortunately, I didn't do much guiding on the glacier. During the training in May, my right ankle was giving me pain, turns out I had a torn ligament. But I was able to do a ton of office work and tried to get out on the glacier as much as I could. In August, I decided to make a hard decision to leave the season early and get surgery. So by the time snow came around, I would be able to ski.

    Guiding in Ketchikan, Alaska

    Outdoor Kayak/Zip line Guide May 2023-October 2023

    Although I loved being in Kennicott, I decided to go work in Ketchikan with Southeast Exposure. I have lived in Alaska my whole life, but haven't spent too much time in southeast AK. I'm happy to be working in a new environment and doing what I love, kayaking. I also do some zip line tours, and before coming here I have never gone zip lining.

    In my free time

     

    I like to get out and skijor with my amazing dogs, or go out downhill skiing with my dog; every Tuesday/Friday I go to our recreational center and play indoor soccer; go out and watch the night sky dance; spend good quality time with family and friends; and learn more about photography.
