- About Me
- I have a mad passion for the outdoors and hope to one day return back to school to obtain a second degree in Outdoor Education. Other than spending time outside snowshoeing, kayaking, and mountain biking I like to read and scrapbook. My goal in life is to become more active in volunteering within the community. I want to help people in anyway I can.
