She began paddling the river in 1977 when she took her 1 st whitewater canoe course. She was instantly hooked, and has been involved in canoe and kayak instruction and Wolf River tourism ever since. An avid outdoor person, she spends her free time on her mountain bike or road bike, and cross country skiing in winter. Jamee's many years of instructing has allowed her to see and be a part of people changing.  "I love taking someone with very limited knowledge of the outdoors or the river and help them to realize that it is not something to be afraid of but it is a connection to embrace."
