Katy Echave

Group Fitness Instructor

Biography

Hi! I'm a lifelong Alaskan who grew up on the Kenai Peninsula. I have trained at the UAS Rec Center since moving to Juneau in 2005, and am happy now to be able to give back as an instructor in the classes that have brought me so much joy and growth! I appreciate the healthy friendships and encouragement one gains in a group training setting. I believe fitness makes me a better mom, wife, friend, and colleague. We are meant to do hard things!

Belladonna Darby

Climbing Wall Coordinator and Rental Gear Specialist

Biography

Hello! Growing up in a military family has allowed me to travel across the U.S., but Alaska has been my favorite location thus far! Other than traveling I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, snowboarding, nordic skiing, drawing, any and all pets, and crafting. I’m here at UAS pursuing a marine biology degree, and so far enjoying life on campus. I hope to make some fun and creative routes on the REC’s rock climbing wall, and I’m open to collaborating with any other climbing enthusiasts!
