Visitor Center

Liz is a staff member working at the Sunspot Visitor Center and gift shop. Though she works as Lead Cashier, her contribution to the Visitor Center far exceeds that. She has been here since 2018 and has been working at Sunspot the second-longest as her fellow coworkers. She works at the register, greets tourists, manages the inventory and leads tours to the Dunn Solar Telescope.

Liz is originally from Tucson, AZ and loves the coolness of Cloudcroft, where she now resides. She loves spending time with her now grown-up grandkids and plans to adopt two kittens from a shelter soon. Liz is an enthusiastic people-person, and her favorite part of the job is to get to know people who visit the center from different parts of the country and from far beyond of its borders.

She loves the nature surrounding her at the Observatory and considers it an amazing workplace because of the location and the people she works with. When asked why she would recommend a visit to Sunspot to a stranger, she says, “You wouldn’t want to miss an opportunity to visit Sunspot, because it is one of the most unique places of interest in our location that offers education and enlightening information on solar astronomy.”
