Gina Olsen

I am an outdoor enthusiast with nearly a decade of experience in event coordination and floral design. My strengths lie in creative problem-solving, effective communication, and the management of simultaneous and diverse projects. I am passionate about bringing memorable experiences to life and making the outdoors a more accessible and equitable space. Last year I launched a small business making outdoor gear more accessible to the Kansas City Market. Big Muddy Gear Exchange saved nearly 1,000 items from entering the landfill in the first year. Additionally, we have curated unique community events that educate and bring people together in outdoor spaces. I value making strong connections with people and am always looking forward to the next dirt I'm going to put under my boots.
