I have lived in South Lake Tahoe for 7 years. I graduated from the University of Vermont in 2010 with a degree in Business Administration. I enjoys snowboarding, hiking, biking and live music. Her favorite parts about setting up tents is getting to be outside, traveling and making sure my clients are happy!

I moved to Tahoe almost 20 years ago and never looked back. I found a home that spoke to my love for the environment and being outdoors. I have always loved going to and planning events and saw a lack of inventive shade at these otherwise beautiful events which lead me to start Shade Shifters. I balance this with my work for a conservation district that is involved with projects that help keep Tahoe the natural wonder that brought me here to begin with. When not working, I keep busy skiing, mountain biking, and visiting her farm in Nicaragua.
