About me

I'm an artist, creative events planner, and love spending time with my dog and the people I love.

The Best Part of My Job

Early mornings, getting the boats unloaded into the river when everything is still quiet and calm, and the sun is just rising.

How I found OARS

I lived with a couple of OARS guides for years, and they were the ones who got me a job with OARS.

My Favorite Spot on the River/Outdoors

One of my favorite spots near Moab is 6-Mile Beach. In the summer, it goes into shade earlier than most spots. I take my dog there and let her run around while I do little workouts and swim laps up river.

My Favorite Trip Memory

Watching the sunset in Cataract Canyon.

I Can’t Live Without

My coffee mug.

My Fun Fact

I grew up canoeing, which is where my love for the rivers and water comes from. In addition to boating, I love to sail.
