I work at the OA because I want to be  a part of the force that impacts our young leaders positively in the present and in the future.

I work at the OA because I love being in the outdoors, and I want to become a better leader so I can share my love with other people.

I joined the OA because I found a place that gave me the opportunity to do something that I really enjoy."

I discovered the OA during spring break Mustang Days and saw it as the perfect opportunity to continue doing what I loved and spread the fun of the great outdoors.  I have been with the OA since summer of 2010. 

I work for the OA because I needed the opportunity to learn to be a leader, and I greatly enjoy teaching others about nature and just how fantastic it all is.

I work at the Outdoor Adventures, because it puts life in a different perspective.  I've never felt so alive getting to learn and apply newfound leadership skills; then taking these well developed skills and teaching them to participants I am entrusted to lead on life changing trips.  It's an unparalleled experience that you can not get anywhere else and I know I've only just scratched the surface. 

Quote: "Truly, wonderfully, perfectly, absurdity, I am that which is not thought to be."

I work with the OA because of the adventure I experienced on the Hilltop Scholar's Expedition that changed me and my wish to help facilitate meaningful experiences and important changes in others through outdoor adventures.
