Kim Becker (Russell):
Professional athlete
"I am 24 years old, a Professional Whitewater Kayaker and part time Exercise Specialist from White Salmon, Washington. I have been paddling since 2001, and specialize in both playboating and creeking realms of whitewater kayaking. I am an avid creek and downriver racer, having won every downriver race I have entered as a Pro Woman over the last four years. I am also a fan of multi-day self support river trips, exploratory missions, and the occasional freestyle rodeo. Outside of kayaking, I am also an avid DH/backcountry skier, and mountain biker, with aspirations to compete regularly in the region's Super D bike races, after a win in the Women's Class at the 2011 Day of the Dead Super D in Bend, Oregon."
I created this website as a portfolio for my resume, as well as the photos taken of me by various photographers. In the above tabs, you will find these photos. All are available for use, with permission from such photographers. If you see a photo you like, please email me at: karussell89@gmail.com for the high resolution file, as well as to contact the photographer.
Many thanks,
