My name is Emily and I hail from the beautiful state of Minnesota. I was a geology major at Macalester College and have been working with youth guiding wilderness trips for several years. I love traveling and being outdoors. Most recently, I drove a friend’s car to Alaska for her from Minnesota and am excited to spend some time exploring before returning to the lower 48 sometime in the spring.

Teach, Learn, Share

Spanish! I am proficient and love improving my skills and the skills of others by struggling through conversations :) Attempting to learn guitar at the moment. Love music and singing with others, anything outside, trying out new brews and food, talking about the good things in life with good people.
