Kenz started her love for environmental education running around the forests of western Virginia and through teaching students about macroinvertebrates and water quality throughout college. Upon graduating, she moved around a little bit teaching in different states before coming to Pali in the Fall of 2023. Since her first day at Pali she realized how valuable ropes experiences are for students and pursued ropes certifications to better assist as an Assistant Ropes Director. Now Kenz is excited to help students grow their confidence as well as inspire positive change in how they view themselves during their time at Pali Institute.
