The People

Cassandra Green
1. Where did you move from? And why did you choose West Yellowstone?
Ridgecrest Ca, it is around Death Valley. I moved here because I fell in love with the area when I came out here for a friends wedding. I graduated college and didn’t know what to do so I applied for jobs in the area and worked as server before I found a job at Freeheel & Wheel.

2. What are you most passionate about?
Learning and traveling which go hand in hand. I love to travel and experience new cultures and adventures, which in return you learn more about the world and yourself. 

3. What is one thing no one knows about you?
I broke into the largest pool in the world and went skinny dipping.

4. What is your spirit animal?
An elephant.

5. If you could go anywhere in the world and do anything you want, what would it be and why?
I would go to Kenya in Africa to work with the elephants and the communities around the area on conservation. Africa and the many cultures have always attracted me but the animals there need help and it would be a dream of mine to go work with them and help protect them.

6. Who or what is your greatest inspiration?
My grandmother is my greatest inspiration. She always told us that education is the most important thing, She also inspired me to want to give back and go into the non-profit sector, she started a lot of programs to help out the less fortunate. I only hope I can do half of what she did.

7. If you were a t-shirt what color would you be and why?
Green and Purple because they are my favorite colors, and I look pretty good in both those colors.

8. If you were trapped on an island and could only bring three things what would they be and why?
A Machete, surf board, and sunscreen. A machete because it is the best tool out there for everything, a surfboard because I’ve always wanted to learn how to surf and whens a better time than being trapped on an island with nothing but time, and sunscreen cause if I am pretty white and sunburns suck.

9. Do you believe in Big Foot?
Heck yeah. There’s one here in the Yellowstone

10. If you had a superpower what would it be?
I would want to be like Aquaman and be able to breathe and live underwater if I wanted to.
