I am excited about working at DWR this summer because… I grew up in Mississippi where there is not a single mountain! When I visited Colorado several years ago, I saw the Rockies and knew I needed to make it back! I’m lucky enough to be at a point in my life where I can go do something as exciting as work at Drowsy Water and I know that that will help me work hard and help make lasting memories not only for our guests, but myself as well.


One interesting thing about me is… I spent a term in college crewing on a two-masted schooner, sailing around the Caribbean.
