Meet the Mamas Behind the Scenes at Kids Who Explore!
CEO
Adrianna, her husband, and young son Turner live in a farmhouse with their french bulldog and small herd of pot belly pigs (yep, pigs!). Although Adrianna used to adventure anywhere and any time, the birth of her son opened her eyes to the magic of the little moments. She feels it’s so important for every adventure-loving mama to know that having a baby is just the beginning–not the end–of adventurous moments!

Ambassador Manager
Elaina now lives in North Pole, Alaska where she is sharing her love for the outdoors with her two kids. She was raised in a small village called Holy Cross down the Yukon river. Growing up, Elaina was taught to love and respect all animals and the outdoors. Her family could often be found hunting and fishing. Elaina’s favourite memory was when her dad took her mushing, where she vividly remembers stargazing and hearing nothing but the footsteps of the dogs.
Program Manager
Rowan has always had a passion for all things outdoors, but it wasn’t until her daughter, Stevie, was born that she truly started to appreciate nature. Rowan spent her 2020 maternity leave hiking, biking, swimming, road tripping, and camping… all with Stevie in-tow! She has learned that adventures take many forms and as a parent she just has to adjust her expectations. “As your children grow and change, so do your adventures!”
Inclusion Manager
You’ll find Rukmini on any given weekend hiking along the Bruce Trail with her toddler, dog and husband in tow hunting for mushrooms and sharing her biodiversity knowledge with the ‘gram. With a deep connection to her heritage and a passion to be on trail, she is also advocating for diversity and inclusion in the outdoors. After having her first child, Ruk began focusing on how to break cultural barriers that prevent BIPOC from entering outdoor spaces.
