Kayla Bobzien
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH
Kayla has called Utah "home" for the past 9 years. Growing up living in rural areas across the Northern Rockies and attending school at the University of Montana in Missoula, MT (Go Griz!), she decided to move to Salt Lake to experience "city life" and epic skiing. Over the years she picked up a few more outdoor habits as one does living in the Wasatch. You can find her out of the trails or camping with her two dogs and partner or curled up with a good book. Kayla is a Realtor, dog mom, & gluten-free cooking enthusiast.
Mary O'Brien
NEW MEXICO
Mary plays around in the lab as a scientist during the week and outside in her free time. She grew to love the outdoors backpacking, camping, climbing, and skiing with her dad in Idaho and carried that love of the outdoors to volunteering as a ski patroller in Colorado and New Mexico. She now lives in New Mexico where she has learned to also love mountain biking and is learning how to manage her diagnosis of inflammatory arthritis in her spine. Mary is excited to be working with SheJumps to reduce barriers to accessing outdoors for women and non-binary folks.
Guinevere Allen
KETCHUM, IDAHO
I love pushing the limits of wide-open spaces, from helicopter skiing, to paragliding, to sky-running at 11k ft. For me nature is a source of self-awareness and empowerment. Can't wait to share that "breaking the threshold feeling" with my fellow female adventurers.
