Guiding People Through
Different terrain. The same purpose.
Leadership shaped by Deaf experience, a foundation in education, and a commitment to language access.
My work connects nonprofit leadership, strategic communications, language access, and outdoor education. Across each, I’m interested in the same question: how do we create the conditions for people to participate and thrive?
The mountains are part of that story. So are the organizations, communities, and ideas I help move forward.

Breaking trail
The mountains don’t define who belongs.
The world’s first Deaf avalanche instructor.
My journey in the backcountry is about more than reaching a summit. It’s about learning to navigate uncertainty, communicating when it matters, and opening doors for others.
As an avalanche educator and backcountry guide, I bring that perspective into the field—and into the way I lead.
