Alex is originally from the East Bay Area, but lived mostly abroad since graduating from UC Davis. He worked as an English foreign language teacher in Prague, Czech Republic, and in Seoul, South Korea, while also travelling extensively throughout Europe and Asia. He loves travelling and taking on new challenges, and anything outdoors, including mountain biking, hiking, swimming, and of course skiing and snowboarding.

Caro was born and raised in Hull, Québec (across the river from Ottawa). She has been playing ice hockey since the age of six. She moved to Atlanta in 2012 to be with this cool guy she met at an adult hockey camp in Guelph, Ontario. In 2014, they moved to the Lake Tahoe area to enjoy the four seasons again. She enjoys skiing, travelling, hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, playing ice hockey at high altitude, and geeking out on board games. She is also obsessed with languages and taught French at Kennesaw State University for six years.

Beth grew up in Minnesota, went to college in Washington, spent four years in the mountains of Colorado skiing a lot, and moved to San Francisco in October 2014, at which time she joined Liftopia. Having never lived anywhere without cold and snowy winters or near an ocean, living in the Bay Area has been a new and exciting experience, and Beth keeps busy in her free time exploring all that the area has to offer! Beth also loves road trips, dogs, chocolate, and water sports.

Kathryn joined Liftopia in November 2013 as a Partner Strategy Manager but now runs Liftopia’s Partner Enablement & Analytics team. While she is originally from NYC, Kathryn moved to California to attend Pomona College, where she received a BA in Chemistry before moving to San Francisco. She spent the first part of her career as a consultant at Deloitte, after which she became an analyst at Partnership Capital Growth. Kathryn spends her free time cycling, outdoor adventuring, relaxing with her cat, and of course, skiing.

Arley is a proud native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After getting her bachelor’s in cognitive science from Carnegie Mellon and her master’s in psychology from Bucknell, she decided to transition into data analytics through a UC Berkeley Extension bootcamp. She moved to San Francisco in July 2018 and enjoys listening to podcasts, rock climbing, yoga, and completing the New York Times crossword.

Heather was born and raised in a small suburb outside of Philadelphia. The highlight of every winter while growing up were trips with her dad to the Pocono Mountains to ski at Jack Frost, Blue Mountain, and Montage Mountain. Ironically, she moved to San Francisco in 2011 in order to avoid the long and frigid Northeast winters. (And also to avoid ever having to scrape ice off of her windshield again!) She now enjoys day trips to Tahoe when she wants some winter in her life. After spending two years as an auditor for a large accounting firm in Philadelphia and then backpacking all over the world, she is excited to take on new accounting challenges at Liftopia!
