While earning an M.A. in Environmental Science and Land Use Policy at the University of Virginia, Clark guided rafts on the New River Gorge.
After moving to Colorado, she guided on several western rivers before joining River’s Edge West as a restoration ecologist. There, she led efforts to found the Dolores River Restoration Partnership and researched sustainable funding and governance structures for river restoration.
Clark then moved to California to surf, sail and pursue writing. She stayed close to rivers by writing about them and monitoring water quality as a volunteer in Santa Cruz, CA and as a seasonal ranger in Point Reyes National Park.
