I started working at 15 at a gymnastics studio teaching little girls how to do somersaults. Graduated HS and went to college for geology. I worked my way through college as a server and cashier. I held 2 jobs while going to school full time. When I graduated college, I got a job with the state government at a state park. Now I work for the state's Abandoned Mine Land program and get paid to hike and write papers/do permitting and manage reclamation projects. My goal has been to get paid to hike since I was 17. I now get paid to hike.
