I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Masters in Counseling; both from Sonoma State University. I also hold a Professional Clear Administration Service Credential. I have been actively leading youth in the wilderness for the past thirteen years, and I am certified in Basic Backpacking Awareness and Wilderness First Responder by the Wilderness Medicine Institute of the National Outdoor Leadership School. When not at school or in Yosemite, you can find me riding my snowmobiles, on the slopes with my snowboard, or in the gym. This will be my eleventh year as program administrator and leader for the Yosemite High Country Adventure. Bringing this program under TAO Education has allowed me to better serve youth needs in our community.
