Meet our Staff

I grew up in Wichita, Kansas playing sports and enjoying bikes (gravel biking, as we call it now!) I spent my college summers and three years after in Estes Park, CO, leading and teaching hiking and backpacking to teenage girls in the high peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park.

I got swept into the climbing scene there in the mid-2000s and gained a ton of rope and outdoor skills knowledge, eventually working for a wonderful Adventure Company in Estes Park.

After my first trip to Red Rock Canyon, outside of Las Vegas, I knew the desert was home. Since 2008, I have called Zion Canyon and the Arizona Strip home and have led and taught hikers, bikers, backpackers and canyoneers through the landscapes of Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Escalante, Glen Canyon and the Grand Canyon.

I love experiencing the area in all forms: canyoneering, backpacking, trail running, hiking, climbing, biking, ski touring and yoga. Along with guiding our trip offerings, I am fortunate to share a yoga and meditation practice with others, including yoga hikes, studio and outdoor classes taught to visitors and community.
