Hailey Sorg joined the Jay Kemmerer WORTH Institute in January 2023 as the first WORTH Extension Educator serving the state of Wyoming. Originally from Douglas, Wyoming, Hailey has always been passionate about sharing the unique stories and experiences Wyoming has to offer. She attended the University of Wyoming and obtained her BS in Outdoor Recreation and Tourism Management. It was this degree program that sparked her love and passion for the Wyoming outdoor recreation, tourism, and hospitality industries. After graduating from the University of Wyoming, Hailey worked for Wyoming State Parks at the Wyoming Pioneer Memorial Museum while finishing her MS in Arts Administration and Museum Leadership from Drexel University in December 2022.
Hailey recognizes the Jay Kemmerer WORTH Institute’s unique ability to connect industry, experience, and most importantly the people within the state of Wyoming. Her role as the WORTH Extension Educator is to provide support to rural Wyoming communities and businesses to maximize natural resource-based tourism opportunities in a responsible way. As many say, Wyoming is a small town with long streets, and Hailey is excited to be part of the Jay Kemmerer WORTH Institute as it continues to make these connections and provide support throughout the state.
