And I'm Courtney Rohde. I grew up in the flatlands of Illinois and fled to Colorado for two years to the Colorado School of Mines. The mountains there made me hungry for more, bringing me here to Alaska. I hope to someday teach high school math, but in the meantime I'm going to be a professional student by studying math and adventure leadership, followed by secondary education. My certifications: Wilderness First Responder, CPR, Whitewater Rescue Technician I, and Avalanche I. Okay, enough talk, let's play!
