Prior to her project management and logistics work for EYOS, she built her hands-on understanding of all levels of expedition activity by serving as expedition guide, assistant expedition leader, deckhand, mate, and captain on expedition vessels. Her broad maritime experience was gathered along the west coast of North America and many seasons in the Polar Regions and destinations in between. After leaving the full-time sailing world she and her husband ran a logistics and marine transportation business in the Salish Sea while living aboard their converted trawler in the San Juan Islands. Kendra currently operates at the Project Coordinator for EYOS Expeditions from her 50-acre farm in rural Iowa where she and her family raise goats and sell organic garden produce.
