Each season, Shadowcliff welcomes a team of rotating staff members from all over the world to help us maintain our campus and serve our guests. If you’ve enjoyed a stay at Shadowcliff, it’s guaranteed that our rotating staff had something to do with it! Â
On the blog this summer, we’ll share a little bit about each staff member through some fun questions!

Erin is thrilled to be returning to Shadowcliff for her second summer. She has a wide array of experience and interests including cooking, ceramics/sculpture, gardening, carpentry, psychology, animals, reading, knitting, the environment/being outdoors, traveling, adventuring, smiling and laughing. Though she has spent most of her life in Florida and Texas, she is excited to move west to Denver in August of 2015 to attend UC Denver for her masters in Landscape Architecture.

Name one of your heroes and why you admire them. Dr. Seuss. Or Hayao Miyazaki. I like their views on life and their creative minds.
