STEPHANIE CHAN grew up in Vancouver, but only started hiking when she lived in Europe, exploring the mist-shrouded summits of England's Lake District and staring in wonder at the Alps. Having returned to BC, she is now eager to adventure in our local mountains and share the experience with Notre Dame students.
