Guide and Office Staff

I’ve guided for OTT on and off since high school. It’s a dream job, and I love sharing these beautiful rivers with people. I’ve worked in outdoor education, guided all over the Pacific Northwest, chased rivers all over (including a 20-day Grand Canyon trip), and taught swiftwater rescue and outdoor skills for several universities. In all my travels, I’m very proud to be on the OTT team and to help deliver our unique river adventures.

River Guide

I’ve been coming on river trips with OTT since I was 4 years old. The river has always been, and likely always will be, my favorite place to be. I believe the Wild and Scenic River sections are some of the last places on earth where you can take a vacation that really allows you to be fully present with the people you care about. My favorite part of the job is watching kids come on trips and seeing their faces light up like mine did when I was their age.

  • Hometown: Portland, Oregon
  • Favorite rapid or stretch: Amazon Queen on the North Umpqua
  • Favorite part of a trip: Meeting all the awesome people who choose an adventure as their vacation!
  • Certifications: CPR and AED, Trip Leader Certification
