Name: My dad grew up in New Hampshire. At age 11, he was walking through the forest and decided he wanted to name his first daughter after his favorite flora. So here I am! It's also my favorite plant now, of course.
HOME: I was born in Hamilton, Montana- a beautiful town settled in the Rockies. Backpacking, camping, canoeing, and skiing were all a part of my childhood; I truly have a deep love for the outdoors.
EDUCATION: I graduated from Hamilton High School in 2023 and am a current student at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. I am studying Ecology, Environmental Science, and Music in hopes of continuing on to study Earth's Arctic and polar regions with a focus on climate change and issues affecting the people and fauna in those places.
ART: Music, jewelry, and photography are three art forms that I adore. Writing songs and playing the ukulele by the fire always fills me with joy. I am a proud member of the lovely Dartmouth Decibelles acapella group, which was the first women's acapella group on campus. I also love making rings and necklaces to share with friends and family! Lastly, film and digital photography are both mediums I enjoy - being able to save a moment or memory in a photograph is such a beautiful thing. Check out my home page for some of my pics! Reach out if you're looking for someone to shoot photos for you!
ASPIRATIONS: One of my greatest dreams is to become an explorer for National Geographic... maybe with a focus on the Arctic. I also, one day, hope to make the National PSIA-AASI Alpine Demo Team and nationally inspire other women to ski. These dreams will take a lot of time and development, so in the meantime, continuing my education both on and off the slopes is my goal! I hope to make people smile wherever I go :)
