Jennifer Browndorf (Low Gear)

Educator/Hiker/Mom/Wife

I am a married mother of two adult children, one boy, and one girl. I live in and love the diverse natural regions of North Carolina. I recently retired as an NC public school educator who now works part-time for the NC State Parks Dept. I am an avid hiker, a self-taught backyard birder, an all things outdoors lover, and (in a past life) a pretty good trail runner. I spend my free time with my dog walking and hiking, meeting up with friends for day hikes, bike rides or pints, learning new stuff from YouTube, planning trips with my husband, and reading. I enjoy volunteering for the Friends of the Mountains to Sea Trail as a trail maintainer. I am a lifelong learner that just can’t stop trying out new hobbies like watercolor painting, dehydrating food, and video creation. I am grateful for the full life and rich opportunities that have come my way.
