Curriculum development & Instructor Training -
Donna Boyd has 30+ years experience teaching wilderness & international medicine, CPR, rope and river rescue, whitewater rafting, Alpine and Nordic skiing, adaptive skiing and a few other things--most recently math. She also truly enjoys teaching other people to teach, and has been an Instructor Trainer for lots of organisations including River Skills Center, the Red Cross, the American Heart Association, and the Mt Shasta Ski Park.
As a child, Donna lived in West Africa and has since returned to Africa many times, exploring other parts of the continent for work and play. More recently, married with a young child, she and her husband packed up the family and moved to Mexico for a couple of years to learn some Spanish and give their growing child a bit of perspective on the cultures of the world. Now, Donna balances teaching with her real job as a full time mom. She does find time for patrolling and working as an Instructor trainer for the Learning Center at the Mt Shasta Ski Park, and she is involved in all sorts of cool volunteer projects such as Shasta Disabled Sports and the many great projects of the Mt Shasta Rotary Club. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and a Master’s degree in Non Profit Organisational Development and now lives happily in Mt Shasta with the man of her dreams, their playful creative teenager, and Sugar—the World’s Best Dog.
