About
For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to be a teacher. I love being able to cultivate a learning space where students can discover things on their own. Watching students figure out something new gives me such energy and joy. But it wasn't until I decided to take time off from the classroom that I realized I could cultivate this same feeling while skiing.
As a child, my family took two ski trips a year to different mountains. It was during these trips that my love for skiing began. As I got older, we continued to head out west from Wisconsin to dig our edges in some fresh snow, I would always mention how I wanted to live in the mountains and ski for a living. So I decided to move.
My goal as a ski instructor is to guide students through an experience that challenges them both mentally and physically. Skiing is about the experience and as their coach, I create a learning space for them to discover their own passion for the sport.
It's the love of these two things--both skiing and teaching--that make me come back each year. Come ski with me and we'll help you figure out why you love skiing too.
