Originally from Michigan, Sandy holds a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and a Master’s degree in Biomechanics, both from Michigan State University.  She came to COE with a long history in outdoor education through summer camps where she worked on the waterfront and led numerous trips backpacking and paddling with teens,  eventually going on to becoming a camp director.  Her experiences with youth outdoors led to a passion for helping people master new skills, experience nature and learn more about themselves in the process.
