Tiffanie was born in Eugene, Oregon, and grew up in the suburbs outside Seattle in Federal Way, Washington. Her childhood was shaped by time spent with family across the Pacific Northwest and Montana, where she developed an appreciation for the wide-open plains of Montana, the Cascade Mountains of Washington and the rugged Oregon coast.

Drawn to Colorado for new adventures, Tiffanie attended the University of Colorado Boulder, earning degrees in economics and political science. Her studies focused on international monetary systems, and she also took the opportunity to study abroad in Italy during her senior year. During college, she discovered a deeper love for all things outdoors, whether it was mountain biking in high alpine terrain or trail running the extensive Boulder trail system.

After graduating, Tiffanie began working with outdoor industry brands and nonprofits. Motivated to support organizations that promote sustainability and the responsible use of outdoor spaces, she built a career working with finance teams and supporting mission-driven companies.

Tiffanie spends much of her free time on the trails near her home in Boulder, basking in the Colorado sunshine. An avid traveler, some of her favorite adventures include mountain biking in New Zealand, hiking the moors of Scotland and backpacking Montana’s Beartooth Plateau.
