TESSA BAKER

Originally from Hawaii but since leaving in 2016 I’ve called many places all over the mainland my home. I didn’t realize my love for the outdoors and adventure until my first year of college at Northern Arizona— where outdoor recreation is big. While there I really dove in fast, wanting to explore and try everything, backpacking, climbing and mountain biking being my favorite. In 2019 I graduated with my Bachelors in Rehabilitation and Disability Studies from Wright State University. I’ve worked in the therapeutic and outdoor industry since 2018- working anything from summer camps, outdoor education and wilderness therapy. And since then, being able to combine my educational and outdoor passion has always been my goal. I’m excited to begin my journey with SOAR to support youth in achieving success!
