Meet Our Instructors

  • Caroline de los Reyes

    FUNCTIONAL NUTRIONIST

    I am a Functional Nutritionist passionate about helping teenagers get back to the basics of healthy eating.  My goal is to inspire young people to choose nutrient-dense, clean, and high-quality foods while understanding the difference between the common Standard American Diet and a more holistic, health-focused lifestyle.  I believe in taking a holistic approach that is educational, fun, and inspiring—something youth can take home and apply in their lives.  I’m dedicated to making nutrition approachable and empowering for teenagers, helping them reevaluate their understanding of nutrition and motivating positive lifestyle changes.

  • Heather Johnson

    ADVENTURE/PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERT
    SYSTEMS & OPERATIONS SPECIALIST at THE SOCIAL HUB

    With over a decade of experience as a photographer and three years as a Scoutmaster with the Boy Scouts of America, I’ve spent much of my life teaching and empowering youth—especially girls ages 10–18—in skills like backpacking, outdoor cooking, first aid, and leadership. As a parent of teenagers myself, I’m passionate about helping young people build confidence, independence, and resilience in the outdoors and beyond.

    Currently, I work at The Social Hub as a Systems & Operations Specialist, where I focus on creating smooth, behind-the-scenes workflows that keep everything running efficiently. Whether I’m managing logistics, supporting events, or streamlining systems, I love using my skills to help our mission thrive.
