I was inspired to become a tour director in 2011 when I went on my son’s Washington D.C. trip as a chaparone. Ah -hah moments in D.C. in 2012 and 2013 cemented my decision and I graduated ITMI in 2015. I have had the pleasure of leading student tours in D.C. ever since and also enjoy leading students on college campus tours. I have worked paint and sip and catering events with adult guests as well. The Covid -19 pandemic allowed me the time to start my own tour business in my hometown of Riverside, Ca. I now lead walking food tours in downtown Riverside, Ca as well as continuing to lead student tours. My company is called Riverside Sites and Bites. I am proud to have raised two Eagle Scout sons who are wonderful young men and to be married for over 30 years to my first boyfriend! My life is awesome!
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.
