About

Hello! So just a little about me…

  • A baker of fantastic treats.
  • History is my favorite. Finding stories that have never been heard or have been lost to time fascinates me. I read a lot of articles from www.loc.gov (Library of Congress) 
  • Stopping to pet a dog is not unusual. 
  • For years I was a professional photographer. I have been published on multiple platforms. 
  • Creating lasting experiences for others drives me to be the best Tour Director/Guide I can be.
  • If you are on my trivia team I am 90% confident we will win. 
  • Nature is my therapy even though I am a clutz and fall down often while hiking.
