I’m originally from a small town in Georgia, and I found my way into dogsledding while working in Bridge-Teton National Forest in Moran, Wyoming. Originally working somewhere else, I quickly found myself drawn to the dog team and kennel there. After returning for a second season, I fully embraced the opportunity to be involved. What started out as only volunteering, quickly turned into running sleds and managing a team of 14 dogs. I fell in love with the responsibility, dedication, and art of working with a dog team. The experience has taught me invaluable lessons in teamwork, trust, and endurance. Building relationships with each dog and having continuous learning opportunities, has been the most rewarding part of the job. Learning their trust is something I deeply value as well.
Outside of mushing, I enjoy reading, listening to music, and spending time outdoors. Looking ahead, my goal is to continue gaining experience and developing my skills with the hope of one day competing in a race.
