Title: Gear reviewer

Areas of expertise

Nature-based healing, mental health advocacy, trail-tested outdoor gear, and storytelling rooted in personal growth.

Skills I bring to the table

As well as gear testing, I focus on authentic storytelling, engaging public speaking, thoughtful program development, and deep experience in combining outdoor adventures with wellness initiatives.

Background

I’m an author, speaker, and the founder of Hiking My Feelings and Wellness in the Wilderness Consulting, where I help people reconnect with themselves through nature. I’m also a certified Wilderness First Responder, and a guest instructor at various National Parks. My journey began after hiking the Trans-Catalina Trail sparked profound healing in my life.

What I write about

Gear tests and reviews. I also focus on the transformative power of nature, gear that supports epic adventures, and how we can use the outdoors to build resilience, improve health, and create joy.

About me

I’m an adventure-loving storyteller who turned personal healing into a mission to inspire others. My work combines my love of the outdoors with my passion for mental health.

Why I care about what I do

Because I’ve lived it. Nature saved my life, and I’m committed to helping others find their own path to healing, one trail at a time.
