Brief Bio
On July 4, 2011, I stood on the summit of Mt. Rainier, my two best friends next to me. At age 25, I had recently discovered winter climbing in New Hampshire, yet that day I found myself in the dramatic terrain of the Cascades. Rather than hiring a guide for Rainier, we took a prep course, studied Freedom of the HIlls and practiced in the Whites. I was hooked. SInce then I've lead trips back to the Cascades (Hood, Baker, Silverstar) to Ecuador (Cotopaxi, Chimborazo), and a spent my honeymoon crossing the Alps, culminating in an ascent of the Matterhorn. I joined the AAC in 2010 and actively volunteer at local climbing events. In 2015 I founded The Notch Hostel, a successful business located in the White Mountains that hosts thousands of hikers, climbers, and travelers. We worked with Mark Synnott to host AAIRE level 1 last winter. I will use my experience, passion, and AMGA training to help others acheive their goals in the mountains.
