About Me

  • Gender Female
  • About me Whitewater wanderer by day, mental health therapist by night, I am always looking for an adventure. I grew up on the water, but being from the flatlands of South Dakota, had to stick to canoes and inner-tubes. When I moved to the Pacific Northwest it seemed only natural to begin kayaking. I took my first lesson six years ago and haven’t looked back since. I am thrilled with the places kayaking has brought me, the people I have met, and all the life lessons I have learned.
