About me

Just because I work outside doesn't mean I'm an outdoorsy person. I love my office, but I also love air conditioning. I'm a townie; you can usually find me hanging out with my friends or trying new crafts and hobbies, but you'll most likely find me just relaxing on the couch with my dogs. Although even when I'm on that air-conditioned couch, I find myself daydreaming about hot summer days on the Colorado River.

The Best Part of My Job

The opportunity to share the canyon country with some of my coworkers, and seeing the awe and wonder on our guests' faces.

How I found OARS

The OARS Guide School Scholarship application was due at midnight, and my friend shared the link at 11:30 pm.

My Favorite Spot on the River/Outdoors

North Wash Boat Ramp (the fire swamp). Such a fascinating spot on the Colorado River, always changing...

Favorite River Tradition

LNOTR (Last Night on the River) celebrations. Costumes, and steaks and potatoes with blue cheese reduction!!

I Can’t Live Without

Super Salve Calendula chapstick.
