Board Member, AspenOUT

lgbtq youth programs and scholarships
Growing up in the mountains of Big Bear Lake, CA, I developed a deep love for the outdoors from an early age—skiing, hiking, and exploring the natural world around me. That passion has grown into a lifelong dedication to outdoor adventure and community. I’m an avid skier, mountain biker, road cyclist, hiker, whitewater rafter, and kayaker—and I’m currently training for my first triathlon.

As a board member of ASEPN OUIT, I’m committed to helping make outdoor spaces more inclusive, accessible, and welcoming—especially for members of the LGBTQ+ community. I believe that everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and inspired in the outdoors. Through representation, advocacy, and community-building, I’m excited to help lead efforts that connect people with nature and each other.
