Ali was born and raised in the Mount Washington Valley, learning to ski in elementary school through the ESSC Program.  This MWV native has always favored winter, but her love for skiing blossomed during her 14 years teaching and ski patrolling at Cranmore Mountain. Ali’s ski addiction developed over many years of snow packed adventure, especially out west, where she first discovered backcountry skiing. Ali also celebrates her passion for outdoor recreation in many forms; rock climbing, camping, and hiking are just a few of her favorites. This passion for the outdoors lead to her studies in land surveying. Shortly after graduation, Ali joined the survey group at HEB Engineers. With varying levels of workload at HEB, Ali quickly climbed the ranks within the local company. As Office Manager, Ali works closely with the engineers and surveyors to complete permits, reports, and research. Her keen eye for detail is a wonderful addition to the GBA board. Ali lives in Conway with her boyfriend Mike, and her dog, Momo.
