Louisa joined the team full-time in 2021 after participating in Semester 31 as a student and Semester 44 as an apprentice. She is originally from Massachusetts but knew after her time as a student at HMI she wanted to be out west. She attended Colorado College and received a degree in organismal biology and ecology, then lived in Denver before moving to Leadville. Her favorite activities include skiing, hiking, attempting to mountain bike (and not fall) or hanging out by any water she can find in Colorado.
