Mountain Rescue

Mountain rescue sits at the intersection of prehospital care, mountain travel, technical rescue, and risk management.

Working with world-class organizations gives me opportunities to hone skills and test limits.

The range of services and advocacy our communities receive is remarkable—particularly given how much of this work is volunteer-driven.
