Charlotte "Sage" Horne

I am a whitewater raft guide for Tahoe Whitewater Tours. I pride myself on my ability to navigate people down the river while prioritizing safety and excellent communication with clients. I work in a variety of conditions, including hail and rain, and perform rigorous manual labor every day. My clients often tell me that I create an environment on my raft that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and prepared for the extreme sport I'm coaching them through. My favorite part of my job is working in a dedicated team environment and getting to work outside everyday.

I work in the juice bar at New Moon Natural Foods in Truckee. Along with food preparation, I provide excellent customer service to customers. I excel at motivating my team through long days, providing top of the line service to the people of Truckee, and managing multiple tasks at a time.

I participated in the WWOOF USA program. I worked on five organic farms around the country and fully immersed myself in learning organic farming techniques. I worked in the garden, helped with home improvement projects, took care of the animals, and helped with general chores around the farm.

Throughout the five years that I worked at The Green Cat, I
learned to lead, teach, and motivate others to work as a team. I also helped with planning, training new employees, food preparation, cleaning, and customer service.
