We work for the community, we serve the community, and we’re supported by the community. and I just think that’s the heartbeat of Mount Evans and our mountain community.”

Isabelle Comina
Isabelle loves working in the community where she lives. “You can’t go anywhere without somebody stopping you if you wear anything related to Mount Evans. They will say ‘this is what you did for me or this is what you did for my family’. It’s a small world and when this happens you realize how connected everybody is and that you can make such a huge change in somebody’s life and it could be somebody next door. It’s very fulfilling, very rewarding.”
