I am honored to do a capstone for a Non-profit organization called Able Women which is based out of Montrose at Ross Reels and is managed by Colleen Aller. The goal of Able Women is to spread the message of how fly fishing is a great way to improve mental spiritual, and physical health for women. They are trying to connect ladies from all over the world, so they are able to lift each other up and go fly fishing together to create lifelong friends. I have designed social media for Able Women that features women, fly shops, and destinations from all around the world. I made a website platform that creates easy access to connect with others. I was partnered with a mentor named Kelly Brown who has a masters in marketing, plus tons of experience with small businesses. From her, I learned how to correctly market a message and utilize social media design software. Overall, I love fly fishing for the peace of mind one gets when out on the water. Fly Fishing is a huge relaxer and escape, and I feel like it can be the same for many others. I truly see the market for women fly fishing due to all the benefits it provides and am excite to promote it.
My Capstone is researching career opportunities in the outdoor industry. I will be taking a course, experiencing hands-on classes, learning from experience, and listening to guest speakers in the outdoor profession. The class goal is to gain knowledge of the skills, certifications, and experience required to have a career in this industry.It will enable me to try out most of the different careers in the profession and experience what it will be like to excel at each. By taking class instruction, outdoor field trips, and speaking with real live professionals who practice the profession, I will be gaining experience through what those professions are like in real life. I also want to be certified as a Wilderness First Aid and CPR instructor by the time I finish this adventure. I also want to study the wilderness and what I will be doing so that I can do it successfully as a profession. In the future, I hope that I will eventually be able to use this information in order to assist in decision-making in the future, particularly when I start to consider down the line from high school. One of the things I’m most excited about is the opportunity to grow in areas that matter to me—like skiing, climbing, bike mechanics, and outdoor leadership. I’ll also get to try things like rafting and hunting, which will help me explore a wide range of outdoor skills that could play a role in my future career.
