Jenn Dickie was born in Whitehorse, a small town in Canada's north. She was introduced at a young age to the outdoors by her parents and spent much or her childhood at the family cabin, exploring and playing with her older sister. With her first camera at age 12, photography immediately became a passion. After the family moved to the interior of British Columbia in her early teens Jenn was fortunate to be able to participate in the Earthquest Outdoors program, where she was introduced to new backcountry activites, and wilderness survival skills. She knew her future path would be forever changed because of the experince.
After high school she spent 7 years traveling and working abroad, taking photography classes when she could. After returning from England in 1998 she earned a diploma in Adventure Tourism and began working as an wilderness guide on the west coast of British Columbia. Jenn's love of travel has taken her to unique and amazing places around the world, most recently Patagonia at the southern tip of South America. For 10 years she has paddled the pacific waters and hiked the temperate rainforests of British Columbia, always with camera in hand.
Now a fully certified lead ocean kayak guide and a level 2 instructor, she is the School Director of one of Canada's largest Ocean Kayak companies and an instructor for an Adventure Tourism College. Her photographs and cards have been sold throughout BC and published in magazines around the world.
