Profile

​I am currently the Director of the Greeley Freight Station Museum, a tour bus destination, but I am available as a step-on guide for the entire day when buses come to visit the museum. 

I am also avaiable to do step-on tours around Colorado and I have lived in multiple parts of the state.  My speciality is railroad tours and agri-tourism (farming, ranching, livestock).  I can give a tour of the agriculture and livestock industries in Weld County  (Northern Colorado) and I can give similiar tours in Southern Colorado. I can accomodate seasonal Harvest agriculture tours also. 

I have worked with groups of all ages and sizes and love getting to know each group.

With my authentic Union Pacific Conductor's Uniform, I can be your tour's personal "Railroad Conductor" and also give the history of railroading and women in railroading specifically.
