I’ve been hiking since I was a teenager with my Girl Scout troop, but made it a huge part of my life after I decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro on a whim while healing from my divorce. Since then I’ve hiked over 3,000 miles on long distance trails around the globe including a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail, the Long Trail in Vermont, the Salkantay Trek in Peru, and the trek to Everest Base Camp in Nepal.
I lead international women’s hiking trips for WHOA Travel, hold a certification in Wilderness First Aid, and have extensive training in the 7 Principles of Leave No Trace. My hope is through the knowledge I’ve gained hiking over the past 2 decades I can help women gain the skills and confidence to get out and adventure on their own.
