Leader



I've been hiking with AMC for 5 years now, first with the Boston Chapter and now in Worcester since I moved here to start studying at WPI. Since obtaining certification as a local walks & hikes leader, I have gained Wilderness First Aid certification. As a 20s and 30s local leader, I would greatly appreciate anyone who wants to join me outdoors!
