Description
Well hello hello! I'm 27 years old, born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin, however I have transitioned from the frozen tundra to the swamps of Florida, and now to the mountains of Boulder, Colorado. If I could describe myself in 3 words I'd say energetic, compassionate, and hardworking.
These days I work as a second grade teacher, which leaves me plenty of time for adventures in the summer. Trying new things, spending time with good people, and being outside is what helps me recharge for the next school year. Workaway is the perfect avenue for this!
A former Outward Bound Instructor, I have spent over 500 days of my life leading others on intensive 20-day outdoor trips. My favorite outdoor activities include sailing, backpacking, camping, rock climbing, mountaineering, and canoeing. I also identify as a marathon runner, mediocre ukulele player, intermediate Spanish speaker, traveler, friend, and sun baby.

Cara was the trooper that arrived to the team when we needed. Cara is a strong woman that did perfect her job here with our team onboard.
