Years with Explorer Ventures: Since May 2025. 
Living place:  Laramie, Wyoming.
Business/Experience/Education backgrounds: I’ve been a dive instructor since 2004 but have been working mostly in the maritime industry in the Marshall Islands with Army vessels.  I’m thrilled to be back working with scuba diving and liveaboards, as diving is definitely my passion.  
Years Diving (or a bit of her passion for the ocean): I learned to dive in a lake in Wyoming when I was 14 and never looked back.  My whole life has been based on travel for scuba diving.  
Favorite place to travel/dive:  I’m a big fan of the Philippines and Indonesia as I love the little stuff.  Muck diving is my favorite!
Favorite pastime/hobby: I spend my time being as active outdoors as possible…diving, hiking, mountain biking, kiteboarding, cross country skiing, camping, Pickleball!  Just to name a few:)
Something unique or little known about her: I worked as a Senate Page in Washington DC for a summer in high school.  It was fascinating to get a first hand glimpse how the government works. 
Favorite quote:  I heard this once and it really resonated…”Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards” by philosopher Søren Kierkegaard
