At the age of 17, not many of us find ourselves competing for World Cup titles, or speaking in front of the United Nations. But then there’s Bea Kim. Bea is one of the most impressive yet down-to-earth teenagers you are probably going to meet, and you’ll definitely want to get to know her and her story. Bea and Jonathan talk about some of the key moments of her journey, including getting on the Mammoth snowboard team; the importance of mentors — and who some of the important ones are in Bea’s life; what she’s working on and thinking about right now; and what some of her hopes & dreams are for the future.
