Originally from Michigan, I moved to Pagosa Springs with my husband in 2021, drawn by the stunning views and the lifestyle that comes with living near the mountains. I’m happiest outdoors — hiking, camping, playing pickleball, various into winter sports, or doing anything that lets me soak in the beauty of this place we’re lucky to call home.

Twice a week, I teach a cardio dance class, and my habit of singing along to the music sparked something unexpected: I began singing for friends and family. With the help of talented friends on guitar, we’ve spent the past year performing at open mic nights, around campfires, and in living rooms filled with people we love.

Your vote would give me the encouragement to keep growing, keep singing, and share my voice at even more venues throughout our community.
