“The Cairn Project is important to me because I believe in the lifelong benefits of empowering children in the outdoors at a young age. At nearly 28 years old, I have built a career in the outdoors and am focusing on providing opportunities for young girls to experience nature and outdoor leadership.”
I'm an aspiring trail runner from Portland, OR, proving that middle age is just the beginning. Five years ago, a neck injury left me wondering if I'd ever hike again - now I'm training for my first 50K. When I'm not trail running, I'm backpacking with a multi-year goal of section hiking the PCT. From 9-5, I work in marketing for a global non-profit, but after hours and on weekends you'll find me on the trails encouraging other women to try hard things.
