A born-and-raised California girl, Becca grew up playing in the Sierras. She began guiding river, backpacking and winter trips as a student studying Exercise Biology at UC Davis, spent summers guiding in Wyoming and Alaska, then moved up to the mountains to work as a ski instructor and ski patrol. Alas, leaving California behind, she is currently a full-time nursing student living in Baltimore, MD, exploring the east coast for the first time!
