Ashante Wood, Reporter
Though Ashante is a San Diego native, she got to Colorado as soon as she could at the age of seven. Ashante is a first-year student at ACC with plans to transfer to the Journalism program at CU-Boulder in spring. She has a love of outdoor adventure that she is pairing with a love of writing for the Arapahoe Pinnacle. The Colorado backcountry is her source of enjoyment and inspiration. Most weekends she can be found climbing rocks, hiking up mountains or skiing down them, and loves to encourage others to do the same through her blog. She also feels just as comfortable in four-inch heels for a night on the town as she does in her hiking boots.
