After almost three years of working at the American Alpine Institute, I am sad to say that I am leaving. It’s been an amazing experience working here – the people are the coolest of any job I’m sure I’ll ever have. The job itself, it goes without saying, is also cool – what better way to spend all day than talking about mountains? I will surely miss this place, but it is time to move on, time to pursue my “professional” interests. I have taken a job at a local communications company called Baron and Co, where I’ll be working as a copywriter and media planner. I am excited for this next step in my life and am glad to know that AAI will be just around the corner in historic Fairhaven. I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, once you get yourself wedged into the AAI circle, there’s no going back…
Here are some random picture memories from the years’ past that make me smile:














I’ll miss you all! And for those of you who I helped register and prepare for your programs, don’t worry – Andy, Coley, Natasha, and (our newest) Ruth will all take great care of you.
