I grew up in Steamboat Springs, CO, spending much of my time outdoors, cross-country skiing and mountain bike racing. Surrounded by mountains and climbing 14ers felt completely normal to me, and it’s where I learned to embrace type 2 fun—a mindset I carry with me through challenging adventures and throughout life. The outdoors is where I feel inspired and connected, and I want everyone to experience that same sense of belonging and comfort while protecting it for future generations.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, where I worked in labs and clinics with athletes, helping them achieve their goals. However, I wanted to be more hands-on in making products for these athletes, which led me to develop a passion for creating gear that enables people to achieve their outdoor ambitions.

During my Master’s in Sports Product Management, I focused on product development while learning the full product creation cycle. This led to an internship at MAS Holdings in Sri Lanka, a leading manufacturer in the industry. Today, I’m dedicated to revolutionizing the outdoor and sports industry by developing intentional, sustainable products.
