I began paddling in the waters of Cook Inlet, working as a guide in Kachemak Bay. Since then, my husband Matt and I have moved to Orcas Island Washington and work with Body Boat Blade. We are passionate about paddling in dynamic waters and living adventurous lives. The Kenai is so diverse and wild, it’s a place I love to know exists on this planet.

I love being on the sea and working as a coach helping people learn how to become safe, self-sufficient kayakers. My first real exposure to sea kayaking took place near Homer, AK, on the Kenai Peninsula. I'm excited to have a chunk of time to explore the unique coastal environments the Kenai has to offer, and to be on an adventure with two of my best friends.

I moved to the Pacific NW to be by the ocean, I'm not sure why, but it came from deep within. I went to a couple symposiums early 2005 and paddled as many boats as I could, but I didn't really know how to paddle so how could I decide which boat I buy?! I chose one nice looking that fit me comfortably. I soon found an active paddling community and friendships through the WKC. And then, I was on the ocean with wide eyes - loving the smell, addicted to the ocean swell. Since that first summer I've been on a constant search for moving water - surf, standing waves, tidal races! I honestly can't believe Alaska is happening. "Fortunate" is one mere word that describes how I feel to be paddling with this team toward an incredible cause.
