My name is Kimberly Cuevas-Márquez and I was born and raised in Hood River, Oregon. I am currently a third year student at the University of Oregon where I am majoring in Political Science and Family and Human Services. At CultureSeed, I have been able to help facilitate the Young Women’s Peer Circles and I am also the chair of the Youth Council. Working with CultureSeed has been a real pleasure because the issues the organization addresses are issues I have experienced in my community. I look forward to the future of this organization and hope to do my part to create systemic change in what I call home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1603220022987-QAK5TWVT9O3VHV97369M/Miguel+Vasquez Events - CultureSeed Virtual Storytelling Fundraiser Miguel Vasquez Miguel Vasquez is a Hood River local who loves to inspire youth.

Overwhelmingly positive pre and post survey results allowed classes to continue being financed by NORCOR for three more years. Programming expanded to include classes for the Mental Health ward, Restricted Access wards and the male and female Substance Abuse Programs.

A place that to this day, remains a huge slice of home. She remembers being on the road, and she’s been told that was in 2004; and although they didn’t originally place themselves in the Columbia River Gorge, they seemed to follow the Big River all the way here. Imelda heard her mother share the other day — this is her home. Every time she lands on a plane and she catches a glimpse of Mt. Hood, that’s when she knows. Something that Imelda is still learning today. She graduated from Columbia High School and experienced first-hand rural White Salmon as a teenager, living just outside of the Mt. Adams recreational area, but within city limits. She describes feeling as if she had stumbled her way to CultureSeed, finding a slice of home here, where she could tangibly see what generations past, hers included, needed all along.

First as a peer group facilitator, then Outdoor Director and now serving as the Program Director. I’m a first generation Puerto Rican American and the first in my family to recreate outdoors. I’ve worked 10+ years as a commercial outdoor guide including owning and operating Cascade Canyon Guides here in the Gorge. Non profit experience includes working with Rohingya Refugees in Thailand, Tibetan Refugees in the Himalaya and Slum communities in Mumbai. I’m a certified wilderness first responder, ACA lead canyon guide & instructor and have spent 5+ years volunteering on local Search & Rescue teams. I’m lucky enough to spend over 200 days a year outdoors and it is my greatest joy to do so with the youth in our program. I’m grateful for this opportunity and for the people who have worked hard to make this resource available in our community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1674512107606-K75A1V31Z1A3NW8K269C/kika.jpeg Our People Gallery - Kika Kielpinska (She/Her) Kika grew up rurally in the gorge during its tense transition from timberland to National Scenic Area, and has a personal interest in themes of belonging and access.

She first floated down a river in the middle of a 14-foot canoe, cradled by the gentle waves and the smooth paddle strokes of her parents, when she was just barely eighteen months old. She's been chasing rivers and big sunny boulders to lay on across the Americas ever since. This instant love for the outdoors and desire to work outside was fostered by her attending and working at a kayak school on the Ottawa River. As she grew, her deep love for rivers helped lead her to travel to South America to further her studies and wander in new wildernesses. Through her time working with indigenous communities abroad in Bolivia and Ecuador, Kelcey learned so much more about natural experiences and the disparities in them. She came home with a desire to focus on equity in access to the outdoors. Ever since that first job on the river, Kelcey has always found her professional life to be in the outdoors--whether on a river, trail or office, she has supported bringing experiences in nature to as many people as possible before she could even articulate why. Now a full time resident of the White Salmon valley, she remains in awe of the beauty of the natural world around her and works passionately at CultureSeed to allow others to see that wonder and feel that peace in nature. She strives to support everyone and brings a sense of belonging to those she is with. When she is not at work, she is often found flying off waterfalls, spinning around on eddy lines, skiing, painting, playing Settlers of Catan, baking, trying new recipes, gardening or strolling in the woods with her pup, Otter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1682544954501-KG29SDHYTBTORP71IL86/image.jpg Our People Gallery - Maru Quintana (She/Her) "I don't know what to tell you, I just know that friendship is born from a SMILE" — I learned this phrase from a very young age when, due to destiny, my family and I had to travel and move to another city and therefore change our house, neighborhood, school, friends and more… but always full of love and understanding from my parents. The truth is that a smile is a universal language and does not need translations. I was born in beautiful Chihuahua, Mexico, grew up in more than 5 cities and went to more than 10 schools until I "settled" in Chihuahua where I met my husband and we formed our own family with three children, but the trip did not end there. In our life together, we have moved many times, but the biggest change was arriving in the United States, with our suitcases full of illusions and dreams; dreams that are more difficult when you have the barrier of language and customs, but how good it is to know that you have the love, support and understanding of your family no matter how difficult the daily battle is. I can say that living here in the Gorge is where I feel like home is, it is where I have lived the longest of my life, almost 12 years! I love nature, walking and enjoying a sunny day. It fascinates me to see how the seasons of the year change. It is so wonderful to see how the trees lose their leaves, hibernate, wake up and give us their fruits again. Every morning I give thanks for the new day. I feel happy for the footprints that I have left in my path and excited for the ones that I can leave. Every day I am ready to have a SMILE for whoever needs it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1654818889501-NJDD11AGUBMK5B6FGN8D/image0.jpeg Our People Gallery - Christina Williams (She/Her) Christina is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Within the space of practice, I show up as what I know as my authentic self and feel it is important to promote the same for clients. Promoting curiosity through a trauma informed lens while exploring the past, present, and the potential future is an important tenant within the space of therapy, in my opinion. I enjoy grilling/smoking food, kayaking, hiking, traveling, being involved in community, And challenging myself to explore what feels impossible to achieve (being a forever learner). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1665461804238-I1TLQWZY9OMQ84SKCEU1/image-asset.jpeg Our People Gallery - Joe Mckernan (They/Them) My name is Joe, and I am a non-binary Queer person who uses They/Them pronouns. I am a clinical social worker and I have over nine years of racial and gender advocacy, survivor support, community facilitation, and individual care work. I’ve spent much of my life traveling all around the west, sometimes running and other times healing from my past of trauma. Along the way I have lived and worked in many capacities over the years (I’ve been a stone mason, ranch hand, barista, wilderness therapy guide, moose hunting guide, farmer, housekeeper, nanny, and the list goes on). I am very proud to center the lessons learned and the diversity of teachers I have met over those years as a pillar in everyday practice. I believe that each individual is full of amazing things they can teach, as much as they are full of things to learn. I don’t think there is ever just one right way to be in this world and I hold that belief as a guide in my social work. I am thrilled to meet, learn with, stand beside, and laugh with the CultureSeed community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1645246442765-EUZ7ZJOAQGA0WL2W07PB/Taylor.jpeg Our People Gallery - Taylor England (She/Her) Taylor grew up in Eugene playing in the woods and fostering a love and appreciation for sharing time in nature with others. Her interest in trying new outdoor activities led her to The Gorge where she was able to work seasonally in positions that allowed her to learn to ski and kayak. After realizing the personal mental health benefits from her outdoor adventures and the important role time in nature played in addressing her grief, Taylor was inspired to explore the connection between nature and mental health. In 2022, Taylor graduated with her Masters of Social Work degree from Portland State University where she first connected with CultureSeed as a student intern. Taylor is excited to return as the Development Coordinator! When she is not studying or adventuring outside Taylor can be found baking chocolate chip cookies or playing with her pup, Agatha. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1759520405131-CYJO96V7IKF4TQ4AR7G1/Taylor.jpeg Our People Gallery - Jaden Iñiguez (She/Her) Jaden was born in New York City to a vibrant family of Dominican and Argentinian immigrants.

Now, she is beyond honored to sit with youth in circle at Cultureseed. Julie has been working with youth and families in schools, the community, and nature for eighteen years. At Friends of the Children, Julie mentored youth then developed and managed programming for fifth through twelfth graders. Through this work, youth and mentors participated in the Portland to Coast Walk, Seattle to Portland Bike Ride, Rafting the Lower Salmon River, and more simple pleasures like cooking meals and doing homework. After receiving her masters in social work Julie worked as a school-based therapist in East Portland at Reynolds and HB Lee Middle Schools. When the desire to take in the expansive view of the Gorge and to walk daily in the wild grew too big to ignore, Julie moved to Mosier where she lives with three crazy animals and her bird-loving wife. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Julie works part-time at Whitson Elementary and in private practice in Hood River. Julie’s heart-work is serving TGNC and LGBQAI+ youth and adults. For many of us, embracing who we are in the larger United States culture is not easy. Julie believes that in order to practice loving ourselves and connecting to our place in the world we need community. Through community, we can experience the belonging that allows us to fight internalized oppression and gain the energy to fight for social justice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1661208772347-57TFSOLQKST2T1RMGN6P/image.jpg Our People Gallery - Chris Barker (He/Him) Chris brings creativity and humor to the therapeutic process while collaborating to find practical solutions and adaptations to whatever challenges life is bringing you.

Growing up I couldn’t afford ski trips, going windsurfing/kiteboarding, rafting trips or many of the other cool outdoor activities the Gorge has to offer. Still, I was more than happy playing soccer with childhood friends in our backyards. In many ways I can relate with the underserved youth of the community, but I hope to bring them more opportunities to explore the outdoors, find themselves and unlock their potential. Since my teen years I have lived an active lifestyle and throughout my academic career I have always been involved with school sports, but now I mostly stick to road-running, long boarding and hiking with my dog (Go Dawgs). To keep strong I do yoga and mindful meditation along with some breath work. I have a degree in Public Health (Woof Woof), I enjoy pizza and I am a fan of THE turtles named after renaissance artists. Lastly, I have some experience as a Firefighter/EMT and I enjoy anime manga/marvel comics. Now that I am a part of CultureSeed I want to serve as a role model and friend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1697243758459-BSC3XB7GUMM7OO7XMSEE/image-asset.jpeg Our People Gallery - Haley Harkema Haley is a local middle school teacher, parent of three kids, and outdoor enthusiast.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Indigenous Education from The Evergreen State College and have remained dedicated to teaching the next generations the importance of life, resilience, and the belief that anything they set their minds to is possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1589227498324-IHUTLUWUWAZUH9WWREGA/carolina.jpg Our People Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1758773464095-H9WU6FDTXMTKOI5DNOU4/Cultureseed%2Bpic.jpg Our People Gallery - Dylan Clancy (He/Him) Hey y’all, my name is Dylan Clancy, and I use he/him pronouns. I grew up in California, where I first discovered a love for the outdoors on the South Fork American River and around Lake Tahoe. Five years ago, that love for adventure brought me to White Salmon, which I now call home. My passions are wide-ranging. I recently completed my Psychology degree at Prescott College and have also spent the past few years running Nativ Cafe. I believe that the diverse experiences of life shape who we are and foster connection with others. As a peer facilitator, I hope to bring curiosity, openness, and a sense of adventure into our shared space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1740377331327-I3HZW297JB2Z9TD3SZRV/Cultureseed%2Bpic.jpg Our People Gallery - Michelle Dillon Michelle Dillon grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska, where her community inspired her interests in music, theater, and volunteer work.

I’m Rin McElderry (they/he). I grew up In Hood River and moved back to the gorge 2 years ago after getting my degree in Bioengineering. I have grown a renewed appreciation for the beautiful place we live in and love to share that with others. I have spent five years working in different outdoor education spaces, all with an emphasis on activism and accessibility. I am passionate about creating inclusive outdoor spaces and providing opportunities for people to explore the outdoors in new ways. I recently spent a season working at the Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center running courses in adaptive outdoor sports for individuals with disabilities and at-risk youth. I currently work in special education at Whitson Elementary and coach middle and high school water polo in Hood River. I love to spend time skiing, hiking, backpacking, climbing, camping, sewing, painting, playing music, and am most at home paddling my outrigger canoe. I am stoked to work with CultureSeed and continue providing safe spaces and outdoor opportunities for the youth of White Salmon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1744684836988-1RLTPADYUIVBI8Y8AO9G/Cultureseed%2Bpic.jpg Our People Gallery - Carlye Cunniff Hi, I'm Carlye Cunniff. I'm a dancer, movement educator and choreographer, and love working with groups of people who are trying to do hard things. I believe movement, especially movement in nature, is one of the most powerful things we can do as people, and I'm so honored to help facilitate that with CultureSeed. I have worked with young people in the outdoors as an outdoor educator for parks and recreation programs, on wilderness immersion programs (mostly on bikes and kayaks), as the inclusion coordinator for Campfire USA and in a specialized outdoor experience environment for youth experiencing grief and trauma. When I'm not exploring the gorge or working with youth at CultureSeed, you'll find me teaching movement at NK Studios in Bingen or facilitating groups of adults to build systems that help them work better together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1748481444064-2VDR8T7NFMBYECQCI4WH/Screen+Shot+2023-07-10+at+12.51.04+PM.png Our People Gallery - 2025 Junior Guides Ximena, Emanuel, Paige, Sofi, Lupe, Michael, Lisa, Azsah, Elizabeth, Caroline, Japhia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1658692061430-A8I2AQCVSGQE6JL18X9H/CS_PersonPlaceholder.png Our People Gallery - Brian Trejo My name is Brian Trejo and I am 18. I recently graduated from Columbia High School. I was born in Hood River but I was raised in Bingen. I've been in CultureSeed for 4 years now, going on my 5th as a junior guide. CultureSeed has benefited me in so many ways not to mention that I’m getting paid to have fun and the people that work there are always genuine and kind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1689030798403-ADS06HWHPAR9DPA1T57N/Screen+Shot+2023-07-10+at+4.12.55+PM.png Our People Gallery - Skylar Walton Hello, my name is Skylar Walton! I am a junior at Stevenson High School and have lived in the Gorge my entire life. I bounced back and forth between many different towns in the Gorge but ultimately ended up in a small community named Mill A where I spent 13 of the 17 years I’ve been alive. I grew up in a very rough household with many responsibilities that I had to take care of at a very young age. I also grew up with a lot of trauma and things that made life extremely difficult. But one of the biggest things that I don’t do is let that trauma define who I am as a person. I use it as an inspiration to help people and to be kind and respectful to everyone around me. One of the biggest things that I love to do is sing! I will sing anywhere at any time! Singing has helped me through a lot of my trauma and I am very passionate about it! Right now I am a bass singer and strive to create my own acapella group after I go to college for music or possibly during college! That’s all! Thanks! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1689031130706-FP24CAALNUA5B5MGW5A5/Copy+of+IMG_6442.JPG Our People Gallery - Honey Santillan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1689091428306-5JLY1J2I12RCK4364C4J/Screen+Shot+2023-07-11+at+9.03.04+AM.png Our People Gallery - Zaida Smith https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1689091504582-QZIGS1P3KT89OKPOS7FC/Screen+Shot+2023-07-11+at+9.03.12+AM.png Our People Gallery - Zandra Bakken https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1689092297804-8UUUQBCPHWGMTLH34ZZY/Screen+Shot+2023-07-11+at+9.07.17+AM.png Our People Gallery - Japhia Dierck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1689092878581-QPTTHNR04LLZG3W9THWP/Screen+Shot+2023-07-11+at+9.27.03+AM.png Our People Gallery - Azsah Murphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/1689093205121-99Q0YHK92GVQ0AKLKX1W/Copy+of+IMG_3847+%281%29.JPG Our People Gallery - Fatima Guzman My name is Fatima Araceli Guzman Nunez, I’m 18 years old and recently graduated from Columbia High School.

Her clinical experience has ranged from community clinics such as Outside In in Portland Oregon to more recently private practice here in the Columbia River Gorge. In her practice Kathleen focuses on functional medicine- to create optimization in all aspects of health- physical, mental and emotional. This includes supporting the current symptoms, as well as identifying what has led to these symptoms and how to create health moving forward in the manner of prevention. The importance of cultivating relationships with the natural environment and community are stressed in addition to focusing on health and vitality. Kathleen grew up in rural Maine with nature right outside her backdoor. These early years created a love of the nature that continues to be a priority in her life today with her family. Kathleen lives in the Gorge community with her husband and eight year old daughter. Together they explore the water and mountains in their truck camper- which they live and travel in for four months each fall. When at home she keeps busy biking, kiting, skiing and spending time in her garden with her beehives and chickens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/f636028e-8fbe-46ba-a30b-07a13631fd23/Kallie.jpg Board of Directors - Kallie Kurtz, LICSW, LCSW A licensed clinical social worker and public‑health policy specialist, Kallie champions trauma care and community resilience.

You can find him chasing waterfalls, playing in various sports leagues, snowshoeing and snowboarding, and adventuring with my wife and son. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/d2ef3791-9f7c-459e-afac-f9351102559b/Roberta.jpg Board of Directors - Roberta Grant Way back in the 90s, originally from the Atlanta-metro area and after fleeing the city to the Appalachian mountains for whitewater raft guide lifestyle, I found myself 30 years later in the Columbia Gorge with a husband and a 16 year old boy. The outdoors is my family’s and my lifestyle, not only whitewater, also skiing, mountain biking, and etc. I am also a Medicaid provider private practice and I work with families, children, and individuals with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am the mental health provider at the day treatment Gorge Academy for ESD 112. I am a DCR for Klickitat. I have a passion for helping others who do not have access to emotional and mental health support as well as access to nature and being outside. All youth deserve play and nature and without that I believe we lose connection to our own humanity and each other and to our home, tribe, community which is our resilience. https://www.cultureseed.org/events daily 0.75 2023-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b70862be42d6a93f5de489/db64bb80-62a4-45be-9cb5-2acde5606137/_Campaign+Banner+%287%29.png Events - CultureSeed’s Transportation Fundraiser!
