Having grown up in rural Vermont, I have always been an avid outdoor recreator. I grew up hiking, biking, camping, boating, and both water & snow skiing. After attending film school at Emerson College, I pursued a career in the film industry in Los Angeles. It only took me 2 weeks to realize Los Angeles wasn’t the place for me, but 10 years to leave. In 2015 I decided to move to Colorado to pursue a work-life balance that included a much higher percentage of backpacking and fishing. I ended up working for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and a few years ago some coworkers convinced me to take up hunting. Not only am I now an enthusiastic hunter-- I have also become a Hunter Education instructor, as well as a mentor to a novice young woman.

“outstanding service in advancing connections between humans and the natural world to all peoples in a diverse and inclusive manner”.
In 2020 I co-founded the Inclusive Guide with my business partner Parker McMullen Bushman. The Inclusive Guide is a user-generated review platform, where users rate businesses based on how they were treated in accordance to their identity (race, gender, ability, etc). We provide data back to the businesses to inform best practice recommendations.
I use my platform and my voice to continue to help carve out more inclusive spaces in conservation work and outdoor recreation.
