Asia(she/her)’s love for the outdoors began in 2014 when she became a crew member on a backcountry chainsaw crew removing invasive Russian olive trees in Escalante, Utah! She led a chainsaw crew in Montana where she first fell in love with mountain landscapes. This love brought her to Colorado where she led wilderness character monitoring efforts. Now, she hopes to support youth connect with the land and develop meaningful friendships as a program coordinator for a youth conservation corps.
