Susan might be seen most in her kayak, but rarely can you find her indoors. Guiding and instructing whitewater kayaking and rafting for twelve years has helped her to become a prominent figure in the paddlesports community. When she's not taking friends on new river adventures or planning multi-day self-support trips, she volunteers her time in conservation efforts with American Whitewater and other local advocacy organizations. You'll also catch her and Wallace - her puppy - out on trails, in local swimming holes, and around Portland Parks. Susan and her partner, Adam Elliott, report on their exploits through stories, photos and videos that can be seen in Canoe & Kayak Magazine, Outside Online, NRS and more.
