I’ve always been drawn to movement—on skis, across continents, and through purpose-driven work. I grew up in Radnor, PA, but my weekends were spent skiing at Elk Mountain, where I fell in love with racing. That passion led me to Waterville Valley Academy and then Holderness School, where academics were balanced with high-level training and experiences like a winter survival expedition in New Hampshire’s White Mountains.

After graduation, I convinced my parents to let me join a month-long service trip to Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar. With no familiar faces and just two scheduled calls home, it was a leap—and it changed everything. We installed water catchment systems, rebuilt schools, and brought solar power to villages. It was there that my passion for sustainability and global impact took root.

At Hobart and William Smith Colleges, I studied Environmental Studies and Media & Society (Marketing), captained the club ski team, and chased every opportunity to gain real-world experience—from film production internships to working with American Rhino. A semester in Freiburg, Germany, one of the world’s greenest cities, deepened my understanding of sustainability and broadened my global outlook.

After college, I joined American Rhino full-time, managing the Nantucket store, leading marketing, and traveling to Kenya to work hands-on with manufacturers and conservation partners. When the brand closed during COVID, I pivoted—coaching ski racing before moving to Big Sky, Montana, to join Outlaw Partners.

Since 2021, I’ve helped build Hey Bear from the ground up while expanding into event production. Through projects like planning weddings, expos, and even professional bull riding events, I’ve discovered a true passion for the fast-paced, detail-driven world of events. I love that no two days are the same, and I thrive in the balance of creativity, logistics, and high-stakes execution. It’s work that energizes me, challenges me, and gives me purpose—and it’s a path I’m excited to keep building on.

The seven case studies highlight the projects I’m proudest of—each one rooted in mission-driven storytelling, hands-on retail, and meaningful community impact.
