Becca Wallace
Lead Instructor/USCG Boat Captain
Born and raised in rural Montana, Becca has dedicated the past 15 years to working as a medical professional while actively contributing to search and rescue efforts as a committed member of Missoula County SAR. She serves as a lead instructor for Aerie Backcountry Medicine, specializing in Wilderness EMT training, and has extensive experience as a paramedic on wildland fire incidents, providing critical emergency care in remote and high-risk environments.
Growing up along the banks of the Blackfoot River, Becca developed a deep appreciation for the water and has spent years exploring it through fishing, rafting, canoeing, and riverboarding. When she’s not on the water, she can be found hiking Montana’s breathtaking peaks or skiing in the winter months. Passionate about both rescue work and the outdoors, Becca thrives when she can combine her skills to promote safety and adventure in the wilderness.
