Margot Ramsay is from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Margot attended Germantown Friends School, and played varsity lacrosse and soccer. She fell in love with lacrosse and attended lacrosse camps in the Northeast, and played as much as she could on the field and in her backyard.

Between high school and college, Margot lived in Costa Rica for a semester and did a National Outdoor Leadership School semester abroad in Australia. She went on to graduate from the University of Virginia, where she rowed on the novice Crew team for a year, and worked high up in the trees at a Ropes Course throughout school. During the summers in college, Margot worked for Moondance Adventures as a mountain guide, and lead kids on climbing, backpacking and kayaking trips in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Pacific Northwest, in Colorado and Costa Rica.

Margot moved to Ketchum after college, and went back to school for nursing. She is an RN, and periodically writes for Sun Valley Magazine, but is currently at home (working!) with her three children.
