Partricipant Bio: Amy
Photographer
I fell in love with the West Coast, especially Whistler, when I left Calgary for university on Vancouver Island. I consider the Coast Mountains home now, and regularly explore the beautiful places that British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon have to offer. I tried to be an art historian for a while but soon realized I'd rather be playing outside in the snowy mountains than unearthing ancient treasures, so I decided to become a photojournalist.
As a photojournalist, it is important to use images and words to make a difference. This adventure is the perfect opportunity for me to use photography and writing to draw attention to young adults affected by cancer and increase support for them. I am so excited to meet the participants and capture everyone's spirit, and passion for adventure, as we kayak the Owyhee River.
