Annabelle Brown

Annabelle was born and raised in Bozeman, Montana. At UM she is majoring in Environmental Science and won’t hesitate to tell you a whole bunch of plant facts that you never asked for! When she is not eating mac n cheese for every meal, you can find her mountain biking, climbing, skiing, quoting Monty Python, and nerding out over music.

Anna Cline

Anna grew up in Sonoma, California and transferred to UM to study resource conservation with a double minor in wilderness studies and dance. As she’s meandered through Montana, she often finds herself prancing through the woods and swimming in the river. She enjoys backpacking, rafting, climbing, snowboarding, fly fishing, and some good ol’ ultimate frisbee. You can usually find her with a go-go squeeze in hand, some glitter, and probably tossing a frisbee with friends on the oval. 

Grace Erba

Grace is a PhD student in the Wildlife Biology Program. Originally from Indiana, she moved to Montana in 2018 for her undergrad and decided to stay for a few more years. When not immersed in scientific literature, she enjoys trail running, rock climbing, yoga, gravel biking, and solo (usually crazy) mountain adventures. She’s learning how to alpine ski but currently tends to wipeout more than anything else. Regardless of how she’s exploring the outdoors, she’s always compelled by how the experience leaves her grounded and fulfilled.

Leo Flynn

Leo came to Montana in search of gnarly cliffs and deep powder. He has been skiing since he was two and is always looking to improve and explore new terrain. Besides skiing, he enjoys hunting, hiking, river sports, and singing the same song for the entire day. Leo is majoring in Economics and minoring in math. His instruments of choice are the trumpet and the duck call.

Alex Kempf

I grew up in Boise, Idaho. I spend a majority of my time mountain biking, rock climbing, and skiing. New to back country, but I've been downhill and nordic skiing my whole life. I am an Athletic Training major. I am trying to combine my love for sports medicine and outdoor recreation into a job. In Missoula you'll run it me if you frequent the Rattlesnake, UM climbing wall ( I'll talk all day about the routes), or Pattee Canyon. My greatest skills are smiling, dad jokes, card games, and quoting Avatar the Last Airbender. 

Livi Lacklandhenry

Originally from Bellingham, Washington, Livi came to Missoula stoked on the mountains and outdoor opportunities. Aside from climbing, telemark skiing, cross-country skiing, hiking, and mountaineering, Livi is interested in soil science and climate action. She loves nerding out over biomimicry, trad gear, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings. Livi is majoring in environmental science and sustainability and minoring in Spanish. She also enjoys running long distances and is on the cross country and track team here at UM.

Nate Molloy

Originally from Eagle Colorado, Nate moved to Montana in search of more skiing, and new mountains to explore. Along the way he found a love for climbing, and a love for hunting and skiing couloirs. Nate moved from Bozeman to Missoula to pursue an education in Journalism and is usually found taking armature photos out in the mountains. If not climbing rocks, or skiing, Nate is probably at the climbing gym, or running around somewhere on Mt. Sentinel. 

Isabela Santanna-Skites

Isabela grew up in Chicago, Illinois. Though a vibrant city, she was eager to escape the hustle and bustle. She is ecstatic to be in the beautiful state of Montana studying dance and wildlife biology. Her favorite outdoor activities include backpacking and skiing. If you ever need free dance lessons, you can often find her frolicking on the oval. 

Marina Smith

Marina is a transfer student from California where her love of the outdoors began, traversing redwoods and point breaks. She has been rock climbing since she was 13 and takes any chance she can get to touch some “organic stone.” Other hobbies include: Juggling oranges, impromptu jam sessions, and cooking with peanut butter and hot sauce while camping. She’s studying Psychology in school and wants to pursue a career in Outdoor Education. If not climbing or studying, she can be found rambling around the woods alone (shoeless in the summer).

Sam Stewart

Sam grew up in Dallas, Texas. Now that he's in the mountains, it's hard to get him to go back home. He loves to climb, but can also get stoked on fly fishing, backpacking, and snowboarding. He's majoring in Parks, Tourism, and Recreation Mgmt. If you want to nerd out about rocks or country music, you can usually find him bugging people at the climbing wall.

Stewart Wallace

Sir Stewart Wallace was born in the vast plains of North Texas. He came to Missoula on a whim to experience the ripe fruits of life and roam ungovernably. He enjoys hiking, skiing, climbing, fly fishing, and water sports every now and again, but nothing tickles his fancy more than music.  Whether you see him hacky sacking outside or playing guitar on his porch he is always open to conversation and new friends.

Luca Welle

Luca grew up in Whitefish, Montana, spending his winters skiing on Big Mountain and his summers hiking in Glacier National Park and rafting on its borders, all the while engaging in scientific undertakings (often goat related). Here at UM, Luca finds time for rock climbing while double majoring in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science & Practice, double minoring in Climate Change Studies and International Development Studies, as well as being a part of the Davidson Honors College, the Franke Global Leadership Initiative, and a few other certificate tracks. He is also unfathomably humble about his academic pursuits and sense of humor. When he’s not recreating outdoors or saving the world, you’ll find him singing his heart out, reading, playing DnD with friends, and rewatching the mediocre science fiction his parents raised him on.
