Biography

Originally from Kansas, Torey graduated from McPherson College with a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Stewardship. She moved to Traverse City in 2013 to pursue her interest in outdoor education and immediately fell in love with the community. After relocating to the Lansing area, where she connected children and the local community with the outdoors at a nature conservancy, Torey returned to Traverse City to be closer to family and is excited for the opportunity to continue working with young people in Northern Michigan. In her freetime, you can find Torey baking, exploring the area's natural beauty, and sailing Lake Michigan with her husband, Jeff, their daughter, Emilia, and dog, Sadie.
