Connecting people with the outdoors is my love language. I’m a SoCal girl at heart with a background in geology and guiding outdoors on multi-day cycling/ hiking trips all over the U.S. I am now based in Colorado and I spend my days working in logistics & events for Thee Abundance Project p/b A Quick Brown Fox, and operations for The Black Foxes.
Being able to mesh my knowledge of the earth with my passion for being active outside in order to break barriers to this industry is my priority. Nature can make me feel so insignificant and yet so powerful at the same time. Being a Black woman can make me feel eerily the same way. I’m almost always an unlikely participant, but that doesn’t stop me from doing whatever the hell I want.
I push pedal and set foot to the dirt with pride, so that anyone else who feels they may be deemed ‘unlikely’ can be encouraged to do the same. Road, Gravel, Mountain. I strive each day for EVERY ONE to share these spaces in the most respectful, equitable, and sustainable manner.
