Summary
Level 2 Certified Snowboard Instructor (AASI/PSIA) with 4 full-time seasons at Winter Park, Colorado, delivering 400+ instructional hours per season. Passionate about sharing the stoke of snowboarding, I prioritize guest safety above all while creating fun, progressive lessons that build real confidence and connections—from total first-timers stepping out of their comfort zone to advanced riders fine-tuning technique. I bring high energy to every lineup and focus on making students want to come back for more riding and good times. Currently pursuing FS2, ALP1, and CS2 certifications to expand my expertise in freestyle, kids instruction, and advanced coaching. Eager to bring enthusiasm and a proven track record to epic Southern Hemisphere winters!
