Leah grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Her introduction to the outdoors began at summer camp which she went to for over a decade. Through this camp, she was able to backpack throughout Alaska for 3 months and explore the midnight sun and is where she had her first ever sea kayak experience. She knew that eventually Kayaking would find it’s way back into her life and she’s excited to share it with all of you.

While Leah has held many different outdoor jobs from snowboard instructing in the snowy Wasatch Mountains of Utah to backpack guiding in the not so snowy desert of Utah, she has found a passion and love for helping those in need, working in homeless services. When not here in the San Jauns, Leah has dedicated herself to helping house and offer services to homeless families around Salt Lake City.
