About
Thank you for visiting my page. Teaching snowboarding is one of my passions. In particular, I love teaching beginners and adaptive snowboarders. I would absolutely be honored if I were able to spend time with you. I believe in designing my lessons all around you. I still consider myself a beginner at heart since I learned to ride at age 30. Since then, I rose through the ranks at Mount Snow's Ski and Snowboard School and teach all ages from beginners to ripping trees and bumps to helping freestyle riders step up their game. I am also one of the staff trainers, and enjoy helping other instructors with their teaching and personal riding. I also received my Level III certification from AASI, which was a very big achievement for me, as a part-timer, and have recently joined the Education Staff as a member of the Adaptive Development Team.
When I am not on snow, I am usually chasing after my three kids (ages 12, 10, and 8) and have had a long career in marketing, advertising and startups in New York. Also, much to the surprise of many, I have a degree in Philosophy from Harvard -- my parents are proud of the fact that neither my day jobs nor my weekend job uses the all that education!
I founded ShredBetter in 2013 as a project of passion. Guests pay a lot. Pros work hard, but sometimes the match between them doesn't always work. I wanted to build a site where that connection can work better for everyone with a little technology. In fact, I love thinking about the intersection of business and snowsports.
Here is a small talk I gave once about how they may intersect:

I am so glad you are here, whether you book with me or any one of the pros here. Please hit the contact me button too if you have any ideas about the site.
