In addition to skiing daily (except on Shabbat) and working in the sports industry, she gives her other waking hours to community volunteerism, whether at the National Ability Center as a ski guide, for the Mt. Hood Ski Patrol, organizing local ice hockey and pickleball leagues, or strengthening the Jewish community through social, athletic, and Judaic programming and events for all ages.
