She spent a decade with a park management company in Yellowstone, Death Valley, and Everglades National Parks. She founded the travel blog, SoloTravelGirl.com with the goal of inspiring others to travel alone, not lonely. The unexpected death of her former husband in 2008 reminded her how short life is.

When not traveling, she is either in the kitchen, practicing her photography skills, or road tripping with her dog, Radcliff.
