Adrianna’s love for the outdoors began in childhood, camping with her parents in California’s Sierra Nevada. She grew up hearing stories of their backpacking adventures, but it was the time spent outside—hiking wooded trails, spotting wildlife and watching the sky fill with stars—that truly shaped her connection to nature.

That love deepened in Montana, where she spent summers rafting wild rivers, hiking rugged trails and camping with her dad, stepmom and brother. Drawn to the intricate connections between species and ecosystems, she pursued a Bachelor of Science in Zoology with a minor in Native American Studies at Humboldt State University.

After graduating, Adrianna immersed herself in wildlife research across the Pacific Northwest and Minnesota but soon realized she craved more direct engagement with people. She became a Wilderness Therapy Guide, harnessing the transformative power of nature to help those she guided.

Since then, she has led expeditions primarily in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, venturing farther whenever possible. From trekking 500 miles along Spain’s Camino de Santiago del Norte to exploring Australia, Portugal and Morocco, she embraces the world with a spirit of adventure. As a guide, Adrianna blends her scientific knowledge with a gift for storytelling, leading travelers toward deeper connections with the landscapes and wildlife.
