Harvard University | 2026-2027 National Park Trust College Ambassador

Born in Anchorage, Alaska, Aiken (an alliteration aficionado) grew up surrounded by towering mountains, glacial valleys, and, ironically, enough sunburns to develop a healthy respect for nature and SPF 50. From recess at -40F to hiking under the midnight sun, the outdoors were never just scenery to him. Nature became his classroom, playground, and a source of endless curiosity. As a National Parks College Ambassador, he hopes to help others find joy, connection, and adventure in the outdoors.
