Born and raised in Southern Indiana, I first started skiing in my twenties when I moved to Mammoth Lakes, California in 2005. I joined the Mammoth Mountain team in November of 2020. My role in Health and Safety was primarily Covid control for the first year, but has since expanded to mental health outreach, employee safety and well-being, and guest education. I love working in safety because I get to see the immediate and long-term effects of my work on our employees and the ski industry. Watching our guests fall in love with the mountain I call home is incredibly rewarding. In my spare time, I enjoy trail running, baking, snowshoeing spending time with my husband and dog and (of course) skiing.
