During her 7 years at the park service she found she loves the feeling of making a difference and being able to share park experiences with future generations. When she is not at work she enjoys hiking with her husband and dogs, traveling, reading, and spending time with friends.
I remember camping for a school field trip. We had fun telling ghost stories and trying to scare each other before bed, but we mostly ended up laughing until we were told to be quiet and go to sleep.

Rocky Mountain National Park last summer.

Getting away from “everyday life” to enjoy the outdoors. And campfires!
