Our Volunteer Board
Taylor-Ann Smith
President
Taylor-Ann (also known locally as T-A) is born-n-raised Montanan with family roots in Eastern Wyoming. She moved to Jackson on a whim in 2017 and has since made it her home with her partner Dan and cat Maru.
When T-A isn’t at her desk working as a full-time graphic designer, she is spending weekends and after hours on her side hustle, Ride Force, which she founded in 2021 to bring more inclusion, accessibility, and style to mountain biking.
She joined the board in 2024 after attending the WITT Trails to Tailgates events and hopes to contribute her business acumen, graphic design skills, and passion for downhill mountain biking to the women of Teton County through WITT. She loves to encourage other women in new ventures, strategize events, and get more women together for inspiration and collaboration.
Kelsey Brehm
Treasurer
Kelsey grew up in Franktown, Colorado and moved to Jackson in 2009 to pursue more time skiing and being in the mountains. Since moving to Jackson she has found a love for backcountry skiing, rafting, rock climbing, and mountaineering. When she isn’t playing outside she can be found cuddling her two cats, reading, or cooking.
Kelsey became passionate about the nonprofit community in Jackson. Joining the WITT board in 2024 was a natural fit for her to combine her love of getting women outdoors with her desire to give back to the Jackson community. She loves to see women feel the confidence to try out a new activity with the support and encouragement of other women who can teach and cheer them on!
Christine Colbert
Christine first moved to Jackson in 2010, and has lived here on and off for nearly eight years. Originally from Utah, she's been fortune to have spent time in epic spots across the West. She’s an experienced climber, skier, snowboarder, and mountain biker — and more recently, she's been learning to hunt. Christine genuinely loves being a beginner and trying new things, and is always looking for new ways to deepen her connection to the mountains and the wild places around us.
Empowering women in the outdoors is close to her heart. Having run into plenty of challenges breaking into sports over the years, Christine is passionate about removing those obstacles for other women through community, education, and shared adventure. She's excited to help create more opportunities for women to learn, grow, and lift each other up in these mountains we're lucky enough to call home.
Meghan Wood
Originally from northcentral Wisconsin, Meghan has called Jackson home for over a decade after living in various places around the world. She has a deep-seated love for the Teton region and is eager to help build supportive communities where women can safely explore the mountains.
An avid adventurer with experience in backcountry snowboarding, rafting, backpacking, and hiking, Meghan was inspired to join the board after participating in several WITT-sponsored events. She is committed to fostering an inclusive and empowering environment for other women. When she's not in the mountains, she enjoys traveling the world, is always open to new activities and experiences, and looks forward to making meaningful connections through WITT!
Hannah Trask
Hannah moved to Jackson, WY, in 2015 after graduating from the University of Vermont. A lifelong beginner and enthusiastic “try-er” of all things, she’s developed a deep passion for making the outdoors more accessible and removing barriers for aspiring women.
Having moved to Jackson with little knowledge of the activities she now loves, Hannah understands the beginner’s mindset and is obsessed with reducing the barrier for entry for anyone who wants to get outside; she believes it’s never too late to learn a new thing. Inspired by the community that welcomed her and opened so many doors, Hannah joined the WITT board to be part of an organization that creates those same opportunities for other women.
Brittany Matthews
Originally from North Carolina, Brittany discovered her love for the outdoors while studying at Appalachian State in the Blue Ridge Mountains. After graduating, she spent several years volunteering on ecological farms, teaching English abroad, and practicing photography. In 2015, she made Jackson her home, where she embraced the area’s outdoor opportunities as a beginner herself.
Brittany is passionate about empowering women in the outdoors, fostering inclusive spaces, and promoting the responsible stewardship of wild places. She enjoys hiking, trail running, rock climbing, rafting, and is always excited for a new adventure! As a member of the WITT board, Brittany brings her enthusiasm for building community through shared outdoor experiences and creating opportunities for women to connect in this remarkable place.
Mandee Sarno
Mandee first fell in love with Jackson on an epic trip west with her sister in 2003. During this trip she met an inclusive group of women willing to share their adventures and love of Teton Valley.
Within a year Mandee was a full time resident and can't imagine living or raising a family anywhere else.
Mandee enjoys hiking, backpacking, camping, paddle-boarding, skiing and is passionate about volunteering and being a part of the local biodynamic food movement.
As other women shared with her, Mandee hopes to help inspire inclusiveness, adventure and love of our community.
Lindsey Baligad
Born and raised in Hawai’i, Lindsey possesses a deep-rooted love for community, family, and the outdoors. Seeking a new adventure, she moved to Jackson in late 2019 and discovered a thriving, generous community that encouraged her to embrace the beauty of stepping outside her comfort zone.
When she isn’t working full-time at the community hospital, Lindsey is completing her degree in Business Administration. She is also a signed model with Rocky Mountain Wilhelmina, where she advocates for beauty through diversity and inclusion. An avid explorer, Lindsey enjoys traveling the world, climbing, downhill and XC Skate skiing, elk hunting, and horseback riding. She recently added an Open Water PADI Scuba Diver certification to her list of pursuits.
Grateful for the women who have inspired her journey, Lindsey is honored to serve and grow in the WITT community. She is dedicated to empowering Wāhine (women) from all walks of life to fearlessly pursue their passions.
