Hello! My trail name is Snap and I'll start my 2017 NOBO thru-hike attempt on February 26, 2017. I've been planning/wanting to hike the trail since high school, and I'm excited to make my dream a reality. Before the trail, I worked as an ER scribe and a paramedic. I'll be attending medical school with my wonderfully supportive husband this August.
