Adventure Guide

Sharon welcomes visitors to Southwest Louisiana with a passion for sharing the culture, traditions, and natural beauty that define the region. As an Adventure Guide at Creole Nature Trail Adventure Point, she helps guests discover the Creole Nature Trail All-American Road while providing recommendations, local knowledge, and insight into the authentic Cajun way of life.

Born and raised in Sulphur, Sharon grew up spending time in Cameron fishing, crabbing, shrimping, and exploring the marshes and beaches along the coast. Many of her favorite family memories include crab boils, shrimp boils, hunting, frogging, and long days on Holly Beach surrounded by Cajun music, good food, and family gatherings.

Sharon brings a diverse professional background that includes hospitality, safety operations, disaster recovery management, and work with FEMA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Today, she enjoys sharing the traditions and stories of Southwest Louisiana with visitors while helping new generations experience the culture she grew up loving.
