Bloom Davis

Program Operations Manager

Bloom Davis is an outdoor educator, facilitator, and artist passionate about creating inclusive spaces that empower individuals and communities. Living with chronic health conditions, Bloom is dedicated to helping others experience adventure and connection in accessible, meaningful ways.

 With experience as a backpacking guide in Yellowstone and as a thru-hiker on the JMT, PCT, and Wonderland Trail, Bloom blends a love for wild places with a commitment to health, connection, and personal growth. Their background in theatre, having studied Theatre of the Oppressed and children’s theatre, led them to work as a teaching artist in Austin, Texas, then as a facilitator guiding conversations around bystander intervention and conflict de-escalation. 

Alongside their experience with GutMonkey, they’re currently pursuing a Master’s in Social Work at Portland State University. Bloom loves musical improv, puzzles, and their cat, Angel Baby Butter Biscuit—and enjoys just about anything that involves being upside down.
