“I am so thrilled to have the chance to work with Placer Land Trust to bring people together to protect and enjoy the beauty that Placer County has to offer. My parents raised me with the American River Canyon as my backyard and it brings me so much joy to see people out thriving with mother nature as their copilot! I feel so privileged to be able to do work that also just happens to be my hobby. Can’t wait to see you out there!”
