Driven towards chasing my dream of making outdoor gear, I started a journey of developing products with YETI Coolers & Otterbox after years of developing business plans, financial analysis, and start-up fundraising. While at YETI, I constantly delivered some of the most complex and shortest timeline product launches. I enjoyed taking on the complexity of product development and finding innovative ways to solve problems. Developing creative strategies and innovative gear is what drives me. 

A unique new adventure as the Executive Director of Keep Climbing Foundation allowed me to create & execute the business strategy of climbing mountains to raise money for children battling cancer. As the Executive Director, I was able to blend my background of business leadership, with my love for the outdoors, to help others.  Since founding in 2021, we raised over $265,000 for children and veterans across nine events with over 150 participants. Major outdoor brands including, YETI, Hyperlite Mountain Gear, Big Agnes, Sawyer, KUHL, Woodroad Gear, and more partnered with us to grow our impact.

Working in the outdoor industry is my passion. Helping outdoor brands & product start-ups manage complex projects, develop go-to-market strategies, and bringing their product dreams to life is a fun and unique career that I love.
