Marcy grew up in rural North Carolina and found her second home in the Colorado foothills. Once she took her first trip on Hwy 36 over the hill and down into beautiful Boulder Valley, she was hooked! She spends her days trying (too hard) to be a cool stepmom, dog mom, and auntie.

When her partner suffered sudden cardiac arrest and an anoxic brain injury in 2019, she found herself in a caregiver role and discovered how the outdoors can have transformative benefits for both survivors and their families.

Marcy is proud of her career in Life Sciences, from Medtech to Biotech. Having a small part in delivering innovative, life-saving therapies – particularly for rare diseases – to patients around the world is what gets her out of bed in the morning. As an Operational Excellence professional, she aims to bring a focus on efficiency and simplicity to both her work and home life.

A passionate basketball fan, shooting around on a neighborhood court is Marcy’s favorite form of meditation. And while she’s an admitted workaholic, she carves out time for Colorado hiking trails, dancing, Muay Thai, and long dog walks with the family.
