Her favorite part of her job is working alongside an incredible team of talented staff and dedicated volunteers who share a similar vision.
Inspiration to pursue a career in adaptive sports:
My inspiration came from witnessing the incredible impact that outdoor activities can have on individuals with disabilities. I wanted to be part of a team that empowers people to experience the joy of adventure, regardless of their challenges. My mom was a Special Education teacher, and greatly influenced my journey and passion for inclusivity.
Favorite TASP memory?
One of my favorite memories is seeing a participant achieve their first solo ski run. The joy and sense of accomplishment on their face was priceless. Moments like that remind me of why we do what we do!
