Raised in Lander and Jackson, Wyoming, Kirsten Corbett works as a storyteller, writer, and digital media communicator. She holds a degree in Modern Culture & Media: Literature & Society and specialized in travel literature. An obsessive reader as a child, she pursued that passion as an AmeriCorps volunteer to help co-found Teton Literacy Program (now Teton Literacy Center) and later work in Outreach and Communications at Teton County Library.
While at the library, Kirsten oversaw adult programming and coordinated community and national exhibitions including with the Smithsonian, Aperture, and Holocaust Museum for eight years. Her love of words also led her to work locally as an outdoor columnist and freelance writer for the Jackson Hole Guide. Following the library, Kirsten initiated and managed Center of Wonder’s arts calendar and blog, as well as collaborating on the community-wide arts marketing campaign Wildly Creative Jackson Hole in partnership with The Center for the Arts. She also served as the Marketing Director for the Art Association of Jackson Hole.
Kirsten has volunteered on the Teton Literacy Program and Cultural Council of Jackson Hole boards. In her free time, she practices and leads mindfulness practices with Becoming Jackson Whole, serves as a crew editor for Write of Passage, and writes at kirstencorbett.substack.com. She thrives on being a parent, playing outdoors in the mountains, and constantly learning something new!
