Denise grew up in the Midwest but has called the Western Slope home her entire adult life, living in Crested Butte, Gothic and most recently, and for the longest, Paonia. Though a former biologist, she has worked in accounting in environmental and renewable energy organizations while living in the North Fork Valley. Denise is excited to sit on the GMNC board to give back to the organization that allows her to enjoy her favorite winter activity, Nordic skiing on the Grand Mesa. When there’s no snow on the ground and she’s not working in her yard, you can find her out road biking or playing Ultimate Frisbee.
