Volunteer Coordinator

Petra first joined Access Mammoth in the summer of 2023 as a volunteer. After stepping into a behind-the-scenes staff role later that year, she became a full-time team member in May 2025. What drew her in—and continues to inspire her—is the mission to make outdoor adventure accessible to everyone.

Petra is motivated by the pure joy she sees in the faces of participants. Whether it’s their first time trying a sport or the hundredth, she hopes to help each person feel connected to their own inner strength and awesomeness.

Originally from Germany, Petra left her hometown for a one-year trip and never stopped exploring. Three decades later, she’s still on the move, always chasing new experiences and adventures.

She finds something to love in every Access Mammoth program, but it’s the wild spirit of the outdoors that resonates most. For Petra, every day outside brings new lessons—and fresh opportunities to grow.

Her background spans travel management, yoga instruction, and extended studies in India, where she trained with a guru. Yoga became not just a practice, but her guiding path and way of life.

Petra is a lifelong reader and finds deep inspiration in the works of Kahlil Gibran and Arundhati Roy.
