The diversity of subject matter appeals to her, whether she’s highlighting outdoor recreation and adventures, reporting on the latest trends in baby gear, or giving care tips to pet parents. Even better, she says, is the shorter work commute…just down the hall, and a dress code change from suits and heels to jeans and a sweatshirt. At home in the foothills near Pikes Peak, she takes advantage of the many Colorado outdoor activity opportunities nearby including skiing, golf, biking and hiking.
