GROUP TOUR GUIDE

Working for the Visitor Center gives me the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and help to create memories that will be treasured for years to come. When I am not walking Main Street on a tour or directing visitors, you can find me homeschooling my daughters, teaching archery, or coaching soccer. I have lived in the area for 11 years with my husband, Brad and our three daughters. As a family, we enjoy visiting the local museums, art galleries, and camping.
