Melissa Paulsen, a Reno, NV native, is a senior double-majoring in Environmental Sustainability Studies and Geography. This is her second semester writing for Wasatch and she is stoked to be able to squeeze it into her college experience. The outdoors have provided Melissa with endless space for growth in her life, and she loves to share these experiences with others. Melissa believes that embracing how others find joy in nature is a crucial step in fostering more inclusive outdoor spaces. She is happy doing almost anything when the sun is out, but some of her favorite ways to spend time outside include backpacking, exploring red rock wilderness, skiing, slacklining at the park and gardening.
