About Me

I am champion free-skier who spends most of my time trying to make the world a better place. Besides my ski titles and movie stints with TGR and MSP, I also make my own women’s adventure movies.
I founded ORE, The Office for Resource Efficiency, a non-profit specializing in education for wind, solar, hydro, alternative fuels, green building, and energy efficiency. I work with women around the world to promote economic development, leadership training, and confidence building – from teaching Indian girls to ski, training Pakistani women to climb and porter, providing solar design for a new National Park in Chile, raising money and awareness for the Maya nut program in Latin America, to my motivational speaking program and women’s camps here in the US.
