Cat Walker, known as "Nugget" on the river, shares her journey from growing up in outdoor recreation through Boy Scouts to becoming a professional whitewater rafting guide at the National High Adventure Base in West Virginia. She discusses how her early passion for aquatics and natural resources, combined with her FFA involvement, led her to fall in love with river work three years ago. The video highlights the skills required for guiding, including public speaking and emergency response, as well as the personal growth and meaningful connections she's gained from building relationships with the diverse people and young people she encounters on the river.
