timberline Academy

My time at Timberline Alpine Academy has been one of the most defining experiences in both my outdoor and creative journey. After completing the two-year diploma program, I continued my involvement with the academy by working as part of their media team, creating photography and video content that showcases the experiences, students, and culture of the program. From capturing day-to-day moments in the mountains to producing reels, social media content, and storytelling pieces, I have helped share the Timberline experience with a wider audience.

Alongside my media work, Timberline has challenged me to develop a deep understanding of the mountain environment through extensive training in ski guiding, mountaineering, avalanche education, and backcountry travel. Working in complex and demanding terrain has taught me how to remain calm, adaptable, and aware of the moments happening around me. This experience directly influences my approach to photography and filmmaking, allowing me to capture authentic stories from within the environment rather than simply observing from the outside.

Through Timberline, I have developed the ability to create compelling visual content in challenging outdoor settings while understanding the skills, preparation, and passion behind the experiences being captured. Whether creating graduation films, documenting student journeys, or producing social media content, my goal is to tell stories that reflect the adventure, connection, and community that define the outdoor industry.
