About me

I'm a proud Central Oregonian and love where I live, work, and play. 2020 marks my 15th year with the Central Oregon Visitors Association, dba Visit Central Oregon, enticing visitors to come and experience the heart of Oregon. Prior to working with COVA, I came from Hospitality Sales at Sunriver Resort.

Our mission is to drive overnight visitation for an enduring economy. Weโ€™re committed to supporting our thriving tourism industry by promoting the region in innovative ways.
