Director

My passion has always been exploring new cultures and destinations through travel and adventuring in the mountains. My hope is to inspire others to pursue adventures - through travel and spending more time outside - by helping destinations and brands craft and share stories that inspire others. 

My experience reaches from strategic consultation, event planning, marketing, public relations and communications, in traditional and online forums. I am fortunate to work in a fast paced, creative environment, and enjoy the excitement of a continuously changing industry.  

I'm highly organized, an effective communicator and look forward to continuing to learn throughout my career. I'm detail oriented, and highly motivated in team and individual settings. 

Over the years I have served on the Ski Utah PR Committee, Utah Statewide Bicycle Coordination Committee and the Tour de Brewtah Planning Committee.
