Youth Assistant Instructor

Gabby began attending HNS at age 6.   She always stood out as a keen observer of nature, often noticing the small things that many others passed by.   Over the years she came to take on and master many skills and abilities and is one of six youth to ever take part in the HNS Fire Quest Challenge, which involves making a fire with only a bow drill and tending through a full night, alone, in the dark of night.  Since Age 13 Gabby began volunteering to support programs and help others learn, play and explore safely.   Her patience, keen observation, and strong skills, and nature connection bring a grounded depth into programs.  Gabby has been a Youth Assitant Instructor for the last year and is known for coming up with great ideas in challenging moments.
