Kristin Libberton, Denver, CO State Advocate


Statement of Purpose

I grew up, and still live in, the Denver area. I was fortunate to have the mountains as my playground and parents that made sure I spent plenty of time camping, hiking and boating. During my time as the Colorado State Advocate, my goal is to help others also have the opportunity for these kinds of experiences. I believe that working together, each of us can enjoy the world, and improve it for the next generation. Ultimately, my hope is to bring the LNT trainer community closer together to make our efforts more effective, and provide a stronger support network for each other.
