I am a 17 year old living in a small mountain town in southwest Colorado. I have a twin brother, an older brother, and a Great Pyrenees mix rescue dog named Juna.

I love to spend my time outdoors whenever I can. I am a competitive freestyle mogul skier, and I would ski year-round if it was possible.  When I am not skiing, I love spending time outside doing other activities whether it is playing soccer, hiking, backpacking,  river surfing, wakeboarding, or climbing. I also love to travel. Some of my best family trips have been to Alaska, Costa Rica, a 3-week trip through Europe, Grand Cayman, Turks and Caicos, New Zealand, Australia, and Nepal. Nepal was my favorite trip where we did a 100-mile service backpacking trip to remote villages in northeastern Nepal near the Tibetan border where I served free school lunches to children, distributed school supplies, soccer balls, and water purifiers to schools, and did activities with the children in each village.

When I am not outside, I love to create whether it is making slime, therapy dough, baking, cooking or painting. I also own a small baking company called, Wild Mountain Desserts, where I get commissioned to make cakes, pies, cookies, cheesecakes and other fun desserts.

All Glacier Slimes and Glacier Therapy Dough products are handmade to order in Durango, Colorado.

Giving Back: 30% of all proceeds go towards supporting childhood leukemia cancer research through the Children's Hospital Colorado Foundation.  Every day 48 children are diagnosed with cancer yet only four percent of all cancer research dollars fund childhood cancer. More funding needs to go towards childhood cancers so there is a 100 percent cure rate. On average, ~4,000 children are diagnosed with leukemia in the US each year, representing ~1/3 of all childhood cancers. I was diagnosed at age 12 with B cell ALL leukemia and was in treatment for 2 1/2 years. My dream is to have all childhood cancers curable with less invasive treatments that eliminate long-term negative effects.
