Haley is a Bedford, PA native and entrepreneur. During business hours she is the Manager of Communications & Development at Keystone Trails Association. “Amidst the chaos and the hustle and bustle of the daily grind, I mentally retreat to a network of trails behind my childhood home. The smell and scene are familiar, and I am smiling. Each season brings a new scene around each bend a discovery.”
