 Born and raised in Flagstaff Arizona, Marieke has been close to the Canyon for most of her life. She has a vibrant love for the southwest and water in the desert, especially the mighty Colorado through Grand Canyon. She started working in the Canyon in 1999 and can be found down there in an oar boat, paddleboat or kayak. She has a contagious passion for river games and natural history that she loves to share, and can also be found pulling out her painting supplies during a trip. When not in the Canyon, Marieke can be spotted in her kayak on various rivers around the States or on her mountain bike. She holds a Master of Science degree in Environmental Education and Forestry and has spent many years leading trips for the National Outdoor Leadership School. During the winter months Marieke is a ski patroller, then she ventures up to Valdez, Alaska in the spring where she works as a heli-ski guide.
