2026 Adaptive Trail Assessment Advisor - 5th summer seasonal

Hello everyone! 

I’ve been a Park City local for the past 4 and a half years and intend to stay for as long as I’m able! 

Halfway through 2025, my life took a turn for the worst when I experienced a traumatic climbing accident and sustained a spinal cord injury. 

Suddenly, I functioned extremely differently from previous and have had to learn how I function again. Through many trials and tribulations I’ve been able to gain some functional recovery through walking and standing!

Now, I’m able to continue to serve this wonderful community through the Adaptive Trail Assessment Program. Additionally, I hope to continue serving the National Ability Center for ski and snowboard programming during the winter!

Looking forward to seeing you all out on the trails!
