Odyssey Coordinators


Hello! My name is Isabella Hackett (she/her/hers), and I'm a junior from Kansas City, Missouri. I am majoring in Environment & Sustainability and minoring in English. I love hiking, swimming, and just spending time outside! Outside of Odyssey, I teach PE classes for COE, research toothed whales, and hang out with my cat Fish. My favorite part of Outdoor Odyssey is how uniquely welcoming and supportive our community is :) Side note: De Tasty Hot Pot and Koko Korean are my go-to Ithaca restaurant recommendations. I can't wait to meet you!!!!!


Hi everybody! My name is Andrew Estes (he/him/his), and I'm a junior studying Electrical & Computer Engineering ('26)! I am currently working on making Odyssey's food practices more sustainable! On campus, I am also a member of the Cornell Nexus Project Team, a team dedicated to creating an autonomous mobile robot that collects microplastics from beaches. Outside of school, you can find me rock climbing hiking, or swimming! Odyssey is such an amazing community!

Hey guys! My name is Adrienne Healy (she/her) and I am a Website Manager/Marketing Officer for OO! I am currently a junior ('26) from Whitefish, MT, majoring in Biology in A&S. I’ve been exploring the great outdoors for as long as I can remember. I love hiking, camping, yoga skiing, and hanging around in my hammock! I simply adore hot tea but have been exploring the world of yerba matte too! I can honestly say OO is very rewarding and I can’t wait to meet everyone!


Hey y'all! My name is Caroline Park (she/her), and I'm a Marketing Chair on OOEB. I'm a sophomore ('27) from Greenwich, CT, studying Communication, Information Science, and Leadership. I love doing anything active; figure skating and trail running are my favorites. On campus, I'm the president of my sorority, a Big Red Ambassador, an athlete on the figure skating club team, and a TA for Information Ethics, Law, & Policy and Introductory Oceanography. This year, I guided a 6-day backpacking trip in the Adirondack Lakes. To my future Trippers: I cannot wait to give you a "big red warm welcome" to the Cornell & Odyssey family in August and start our forever friendship <3

My name is Stella Ferguson (she/her) and I am a sophomore studying biology with a concentration in animal physiology. I am also pre-vet! I am originally from Los Angeles, so moving to Ithaca was a very big adjustment. I love to spend time outside, especially backpacking, rock climbing, and canoeing. I also love animals, so I am also a member of Cornell's Block and Bridle Club and Guiding Eyes for the Blind Club! I led my first Odyssey trip last year and had so much fun. Odyssey is such a wonderful and supportive community. I am also on OOEB as a member of the marketing committee!

Hi, I'm Mira Lamble (she/her)!! I'm a sustainability chair for OO and I guided a rockback trip this summer. I'm a sophomore majoring in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Ecology and Evolutionary biology, and I'm from Seattle, WA. I also set at the climbing wall and do research in a lab that studies ponds! I love spending time outside, especially backpacking, climbing, and skiing. Odyssey is such a wonderful community and I'm so excited to spend another year with you all <3

Hey y'all! My name is Rilo Oberg (he/him, rhymes with silo), and I'm a training chair for Outdoor Odyssey! I'm a junior majoring in engineering physics and mechanical engineering, and I'm from Yellow Springs, Ohio. In my free time, I build drones with Cornell's autonomous drone project team, I'm involved with Cornell Running Club, and I play drums in a rock band on campus! Also, I love hammocking around campus, my favorite vegetable is bell pepper, and I have a forklift certification from OSHA. I had so much fun on my Odyssey trip my freshman year, and I've had an absolutely incredible experience guiding the past two years! I absolutely love the Odyssey community, and I'm so excited to meet everyone!
