Carolyn Escoto moved to June Lake in 2006 and became involved with DSES after volunteering at the Second Chance Thrift store. Through the thrift store she learned of the opportunity to become a volunteer instructor with DSES and has throughly enjoyed teaching Nordic and Alpine skiing with the program since 2012. Carolyn has earned her PSIA level one and level two alpine instructor certifications as a result of the first-rate training program offered by DSES. Carolyn’s brother was identified with Autism when he was 5 years old which makes the mission of this organization especially personal and close to her heart.

Carolyn received her M.B.A. from the University of Colorado and spent most of her career as the Managing Director of the Crail-Johnson Foundation, an organization dedicated to making grants to Los Angeles area non-profits serving inner city children and their families. Carolyn also serves on the board of directors of the Crail-Johnson Foundation and the Mammoth Hospital Foundation.
