Maria Rosa

Caribbean Program Manager

María Rosa was born and raised in Havana, Cuba and for many she is as Cuban as it gets. She started guiding as a part time job during her last year of college. After graduating, she worked as a teacher in the university of Havana and continued guiding part-time until eventually she decided to do it full time. She loves teaching and she found guiding equally rewarding. She met her husband while guiding on a kayak trip and from that moment on she joined our adventure family. She has worked for Row since 2016 from Cuba and now from Portland, Oregon where she has lived for the past 2 years with her husband and her 4 Cuban fur babies.

Julianna Fultineer

River Guide

Guide Since 2011: WA, CO, OR. Joined ROW in 2016. Julianna, or Jules to many, has been a professional river guide since 2011. Growing up in Southern Oregon near her beloved Rogue, she was drawn to the river from an early age. She began guiding professionally during college, and has warmly embraced the path that river guiding has helped her carve out. Guiding has taken her to Washington, Colorado, and home to Oregon. For Jules, rivers offers a unique opportunity to illuminate for others the transformative power of the natural world. When not on the river, Julianna attends Naropa University, where she is pursuing an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis in Wilderness Therapy. She hopes this degree will help realize her dream of facilitating transformation through relationship with the river.
