Hannah grew up in Bend, OR and, loving the mountains, she headed to Bozeman, MT to pursue a dual major in Microbiology and Organismal biology. There she fell in love with the Backcountry Squatters Montana State University branch and had the honor to be its president for two years. During college she worked with the outdoor recreation program on campus where she learned how much she loves to teach and get others excited and confident in the outdoors. She loves everything about biology and currently still resides in Bozeman after graduation for the research, the biking, the beer, and all the wonderful people.

ISABELLE (aka IBBY) SELMAN

ibby@backcountrysquatters.org

Born and raised in Bend, OR, Ibby grew up enjoying all that the Casacades has to offer. In fact, Ibby loves Bend so much that she transfered to Oregon State University of the Cascades, after attending Colorado Mesa University for a year and skiing for the university. Despite spending more time on the slopes than in the classroom, she recently graduated from OSU Cascades with a B. A in Legal Studies and Public Policy. Ibby hopes to become a lawyer but is working as a caregiver in the meantime. Ibby loves backcountry skiing, nordic skiing, mountain biking, backpacking, and setting the slowest known times ( SKT) in trail running. You can generally find her busting a move on the stage of Bend’s local dive bars in her yellow hemp overalls.
