About me

I just graduated from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, with a degree in Political Science! I have no clue what I want to do in the future; all I know is that I want to keep rafting. I love to travel and meet new people wherever I go.

The Best Part of My Job

My favorite part of guiding is getting to meet people! There is nothing I love more than getting to know a boat full of people and sharing the river with them.

How I found OARS

I started guiding in 2022 when my mom told me I needed to get a job. Turns out she didn't know what she was starting, and now, a few years later, I am guiding on the other side of the country.

My Favorite Spot on the River/Outdoors

My favorite rapid would have to be Big Mama or Magic Falls, both on the Kennebec River in Maine. Specifically at high water!

Favorite River Tradition

I always like to drink a coconut Red Bull before a trip!
