Collaborations
Each collaboration reflects my passion for adventure and my commitment to sharing the beauty of the world, along with the gear that helps outdoor enthusiasts experience it.
Let's Collaborate!
ViaBackcountry creates authentic outdoor adventure content that inspires exploration, builds trust, and connects brands with real-world backcountry adventurers.
From long-distance hiking trails and remote wilderness travel to gear testing and visual storytelling, every piece of content is crafted to resonate with outdoor enthusiasts—especially women 40+ seeking adventure, confidence, and connection in the outdoors.
As a long-distance backpacker and endurance athlete myself, I field-test gear in rugged backcountry conditions — from multi-day backpacking trips and thru-hikes to ultra marathons. My partnerships combine stories from the trail with performance-based product testing, giving brands both compelling content and actionable feedback.
My Unique Style
I aim to blend storytelling, adventure, and practical wisdom in a way that inspires and connects with audiences. I craft experiences that bring brands and customers together through the lens of endurance, exploration, and community.
Rather than focusing on traditional UGC, I create compelling, brand-aligned content that feels authentic and aspirational. My posts strike a balance between adventure storytelling, tips and tricks, and motivational insights, making them engaging and informative while also driving brand engagement. My style is rugged yet refined, raw yet strategic—designed to resonate deeply with outdoor enthusiasts and those who dream of pushing their limits.
My approach is highly intentional, not just posting for the sake of content; I curate a space where brands and customers naturally align. Through captivating visuals, thoughtful messaging, and a strong sense of community, I strive to position content as more than just accounts—it’s a movement that fuels adventure and inspires action.
