Meet Your Guide!

Hi,

Here is a little information about me. I've been a lover of the outdoors for many years, and involved in recreational outdoor activities including mountaineering, rock climbing, trekking, canoeing and mountain biking. I decided to turn my love of the outdoors into a career in 2006 when I began working for Maligne Tours as a boat driver/tour guide. During my time with Maligne Tours I started developing knowledge of the natural and human history of the Maligne Valley and The Rocky Mountains.

Being a very active person, I decided to upgraded my skills and become a hiking and backpacking guide in 2007 and I've never looked back. Working in the National Parks requires several qualifications. Since then, I've completed the Interpretive Guides Association Professional Guiding Level, and also the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides (A.C.M.G.) Hiking Guide program. I also have a wilderness first responder course that involves 90 hours of first aid and emergency training.

I've been guiding hiking trips for the past seventeen years, and have developed my own unique and interactive guiding style. My appreciation of life and fascination with nature will show in my presentations as will my extensive knowledge of the area. I've developed ability to take my knowledge and deliver it in an understandable and fun way to guests of all ages. Being both peaceful and active, I've chosen the middle path. Balancing work life with love of nature, I'm always happy to share with others the amazing outdoor experiences available in the Canadian Rockies.
