Autumn is an educator and adventurer from Colorado Springs, Colorado. She studied biology and secondary education at Knox College with plans to teach high school science in the future. Growing up in a very land-locked Colorado, she got into sailing when she took a school trip to sail on Roseway in St. Croix in 2019. In college, she completed a semester abroad sailing Hawaii to Fiji, and she is very excited to be living and working aboard a ship full-time. Beyond sailing, she runs a lot, loves to hike, read, and baking sourdough bread.
