Major LAM Activities and
Positions Held:
I am a
veterinarian originally from Pueblo, Colorado. I did my
undergraduate biology degree at Colorado State University and
went on to the University of Illinois for vet school. I
missed the dry warm weather of the southwest, and I'd always
loved visiting my uncle in Albuquerque, so I left Illinois as
soon as I could! I started out in Santa Fe and have been
working in Los Alamos for about 2 years now.
I joined the
mountaineers in April to take the climbing school and improve my
climbing abilities. I do love to be outside camping,
hiking, climbing and doing water sports. I prefer warmweather outdoors activities, but I have tried snow and ice
sports. I recently began doing triathlons and climbing
13'ers and 14'ers. I feel like I'm new to the
mountaineering thing, but I'm enjoying it and expanding my
horizons! Recently, I traveled to Ireland and hiked across
southern Ireland with a group, and thoroughly enjoyed the
scenery and rain! I hope I can contribute something, even
if a positive attitude, to the mountaineering group as
secretary!
