Experience
Raft Guide

2014-05 -01 to 2014-08-22

Guided in Alberta for the 2014 season. Pre-trip raft preparation and raft repair
were daily routines before setting out. I guided roughly 80 people on river,
each of whom required special care and attention to ensure their safety gear
was properly adjusted.
My clear and direct communication skills ensured instructional briefings on
safety and in raft commands were clearly understood.

Through my upfront and friendly attitude I ensured client safety was always
prioritized without detracting from the adventure experience.

Guided on the Ottawa River, Red Deer River, Bow River, Kananaskis River
