NENSA is thrilled to share that Caitlin Patterson has joined our Board of Directors. Caitlin brings a wide range of experience to NENSA and we look forward to working with her.
Caitlin lives in Portland, ME where she works as a structural engineer for Thornton Tomasetti. Caitlin also coaches skiing with Nonstop Nordic in the Portland area, leading the Adult training program and helping with the junior program during the summer. She really enjoys sharing her ski expertise and passion for the sport with the local Maine community through Nonstop Nordic, and now with the whole New England community as a board member of NENSA.
Caitlin is a 2-time Olympian, an 11x US National Champion in cross-country skiing, a 2x US National Champion in skimo, and a 2x Xterra Trail Marathon World Champion.
She grew up in Idaho and Alaska, raced NCAA Division 1 during college at the University of Vermont, and spent 10 years racing for the Craftsbury Green Racing Project elite team in northern Vermont. She was a member of the 2018 and 2022 US Olympic teams, as well as the 2017 US Mountain Running World Championship team.
Beyond cross-country skiing, Caitlin loves backcountry skiing, climbing, all types of biking and generally just being outside with friends. She does occasionally chill and enjoys live music, baking, learning about architecture and engineering, and reading books too.
Please join us in welcoming Caitlin!
