Meet Your Personal Aspen Experience Curator

There’s so much to showcase in and around the area and I appreciate the opportunity to explore the out of the ordinary and out of bounds adventures and experiences here in the Roaring Fork Valley with our Cuvée guests.
If I’m not energetically leading a group through the wonders of this area or at my beloved home in Aspen, you’ll find me hiking. I love how much ground you can cover on your own two feet and the different view of the valley at every summit.
