Trip leader tuesday!!! Time to post again. If y’all forgot I’m Amari, I am Elementary Education major & one of the directors of Outdoor Rec. I’m also a senior graduating in May!
Throughout my time with Outdoor Rec my fav trip was to Redwoods for spring break in 2023, I met so many cool people, and it was what helped me decide that I wanted to be a trip leader! Also I have a twin that I’m 5 minutes older than 👯 (that’s my fun fact)

Addy is Bachelor of fine Arts in Design and Technical Theatre, and minoring in both dance in studio arts! (🎭) Addy has been a trip leader for about two years now, but going on outdoor rec trips for much longer, because one of her best memories was on the NSO hike, her freshman year.
