Heather Bennett - Asheville, NC Heather is a Texas native however she has called many places home over the years including upstate New York, Raleigh NC, Asheville NC, Glacier Park Montana, Guatemala, and Denali Park Alaska. Over the past five years she has enthusiastically pursued an Anthropology/Sociology degree at the University of North Carolina in Asheville. In her pursuit of education she was fortunate enough to spend 3 months living abroad in Guatemala. While there she studied Spanish, built relationships while living with a Guatemalan family, and indulged in the magic of traveling abroad. Her love of meeting new people and learning from her travel experiences has luckily brought her to Northern Georgia to work as part of the Blue Ridge Outdoor Education staff. She is eager to explore and share her love of the Blue Ridge Mountains with others. If you are interested in knowing a good recipe for guacamole, or care to learn about bicycle maintenance (two of Heather's favorite things) she's your gal!
