Kendall is an Expedition Leader for Women in the Wild trips in national parks across the United States. Raised in the high deserts of New Mexico, her family instilled in her a love for outdoor adventures from a young age. These cherished childhood experiences—filled with river days, starry nights and wild outdoor play—fueled her lifelong passion for nature.

Kendall carried this enthusiasm through her educational pursuits, earning a degree in international studies and political science with a focus on South America and the Middle East. After college, she found herself yearning for the outdoors more than ever, prompting her to embark on a career in the outdoor industry. She initially worked on a trail crew and at a ski resort in Colorado, before moving to Montana to pursue outdoor education. There, she lived in an old ranger cabin in Glacier National Park with six others, where they shared daily hikes and learning experiences. This period was both personally and professionally transformative for Kendall, deepening her appreciation for teaching and sharing the beauty of the natural world. In 2024, Kendall became an Expedition Leader with Nat Hab.

Kendall's career has led her to some of her most memorable backpacking trips in destinations like Patagonia and Montana's Bob Marshall Wilderness. She is lucky enough to call Montana home and thinks of Glacier National Park as her own backyard in which to play and learn. When not leading expeditions, Kendall enjoys fly fishing, floating rivers and skiing, embracing the outdoors in every season.
