Hailing from Montana, I grew up only minutes away from nature at its finest, Glacier National Park, Flathead Lake and the Jewel Basin. The Grand Canyon was my playground during my college years and I had the experience of living in a cabin at the Bright Angel Lodge for a summer! I taught elementary school in AZ where the classrooms didn’t have windows, so I traded the classroom for a tour bus. Now, I enjoy the desert vistas and sun every day as I share the mysteries of the Southwest with my clients.

My happy place is my cabin where I garden, drag my family out for a hike, and create things with my hands from stone and brick. When I don't have the chance to travel, I like to escape to new worlds with a good book!
