H2o Dreams Partners with Dagger Kayaks

I learned to roll in February of 2012 with little intention of applying the skill to whitewater. My background in competitive athletics, however, left me anxious to test my skill in the unpredictable and dynamic environment of whitewater once I got rolling down pat in the pool... it has been quite the journey ever since.  I have been extremely fortunate to come up in the sport of paddling while allowed to maintain a virtue I hold true in other areas of my life, too, in that "we are the company we keep." Surrounded by talented boaters, instructors, and encouragement, I have had the opportunity to grow through challenges and success while being lifted up by a great group of people. Because of that, I have been able to fall in love with kayaking as it takes me to big water, steep creeks, and beautiful waterfalls throughout the Southeast and now, into South America.  I continually pursue a fuller and deeper connection with my natural environment through a greater understanding of self and my place on the water. My role with H2o Dreams is an evolving one that allows me to push myself as a paddler, instructor, and creative mind; I love to document and reflect on my experiences with the river through writing, photography, and video.
