Katie Matthews arrived at MRG a few years ago to bring a big dose of professionalism, energy and enthusiasm. Katie showed up early for all of her trips and usually went kayaking afterwards. When she’s around we are smarter and better behaved. “Ms. Mathews” is a sixth grade teacher extraordinaire when she’s not guiding kayak or raft trips for us.  We are so lucky to have someone so smart, talented and conscientious on our team. She’s the heart of our operation these days. Katies an EMT, teaches rescue classes, leads our guide schools and whitewater workshops and sets the standard for our new guides. On top of everything else she is our social media director.
