HDU SQUAD: Member of the Month!

We are so hyped about our Squad Members that we have decided to start a feature that highlights an amazing member every month!

Each month we will feature a woman that is the epitome of Honeydew U! Someone who elevates and empowers and who is breaking molds and stereotypes in her own way! We know that many of you don’t necessarily see yourself as exceptional, but we see you! The adventurers, the supporters, the strong, the mama bears, the spiritualists, the kind hearts, and all of you who have always felt like there has to be more.

We see you. We are in awe of you and we can’t wait to celebrate you!

Now, let us introduce you to our first HDU Squad Member of the Month:

Meet Mandy

Our girl Mandy is the epitome of HDU! A true Rennaissance Woman, she is forever challenging stereotypes of what a “woman” should be. On any day, you can find this Environmentalist running camps for kids that feature lessons on conservation and stewardship, teaching archery lessons to adults, certifying folks in CPR training, or creating community 5K’s. She is an advocate for women’s health and makes her own a priority. She’s not afraid to be the only woman in a space, (ask her about her Survivalist adventures), and not only she can build you a farmhouse table but she can grow you a pretty insane garden as well. She helps run women’s groups, is the first person to come over to help or cook a meal when you’re in need and she is willing to take on just about any challenge (Spartan Trifecta, a 1/2, and a full marathon to name a few). Just this January, she took on a 2,000 Burpee Challenge to raise funds for the organization Stop Soldier Suicide.
