Mate/Medical
Ruby is from Miami, Florida, and is currently studying Outdoor Education and Field Ecology in Arizona. She grew up always around or in the ocean and loved being near the water. She was lucky enough to experience three weeks of GoBeyond in the BVI’s after her first year of high school. Five years later, she sailed with Seamester from Bali, Indonesia, to Cape Town, South Africa on S/Y Vela. She had the most fantastic time on this voyage, found a new passion for marine biology, and got her rescue scuba diving certification. Ruby loves to do anything outdoors and adventure-related. She has been a whitewater raft guide for three years and strongly appreciates risk management and rescue. She has a background in swift water rescue, high ropes rescue, and avalanche rescue, as well as her wilderness EMT license. You can find her backpacking, rock climbing, or skiing when she doesn’t have class. Ruby can’t wait to trade the desert for the ocean and return on the water this summer!
