When Paige first joined us as a contractor, it felt a little like one of those “just for now” relationships you secretly hope turns into forever. She was calm, kind, and ridiculously capable right out of the gate. We tried to play it cool, but let’s be honest: We were smitten. 

Fast-forward to today, and we’re officially in a committed relationship (career-wise, of course). Paige has this quiet power about her. She picks things up faster than you can explain them, manages multiple tasks with total ease, and brings a steady, grounded presence that makes even the busiest days feel doable. In short: Paige is the real deal, and we're so glad she said yes to making it official.

Insider Info

Pronouns: she / her / hers

Domestic status: My hus­band chased me down for about sev­en years until I final­ly gave him the time of day. We dat­ed, were engaged for three short months, and had a win­ter wed­ding in 2019. He’s my best friend and the BEST dad to our two boys!

Favorite Books: The House­maid, Nev­er Lie, The Grace Year, Drag­on­fly, The Silent Patient, and Har­ry Pot­ter (fel­low Raven­claw here!).

What pushes my panic button: Run­ning late! If I think I’m going to be late I’d rather just not go at all. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, it hap­pens more than I like it to now with two young kids to get ready! 

Childhood career choice: The only thing I could think of as a child was attend­ing the Uni­ver­si­ty of Ten­nessee and play­ing bas­ket­ball for Pat Sum­mitt, then pos­si­bly teach­ing after that. Spoil­er alert: I stopped play­ing bas­ket­ball after mid­dle school and end­ed up with a biol­o­gy degree!

Dream travel destination: Scot­land to ride the Jacobean Train used in the Har­ry Pot­ter movies as the Hog­warts Express.

Your most perfect Saturday: A cool fall day start­ing with cof­fee and then cheer­ing on the Ten­nessee Vols!

Favorite things: My boys, cof­fee, the St. Louis Car­di­nals, the Ten­nessee Vols, Christ­mas, books, the beach, autumn, Diet Coke, spend­ing time at the lake, and ice cream.

What I’m listening to: Crime Junkie pod­cast, an audio­book, or throw­back Mil­len­ni­al songs.

What I love most about Here Comes The Guide: You know that fuzzy, feel-good feel­ing you get when you fall in love? Well, I get to feel that way every day because I work for HCTG. It is the most gen­uine com­pa­ny made up of the most enter­tain­ing, fierce, and kind human beings that always make me feel seen and sup­port­ed. Oh, and the work/​life bal­ance is chef’s kiss.

Favorite quotes: “I praise you because I am fear­ful­ly and won­der­ful­ly made; your works are won­der­ful, I know that full well.” —Psalm 139:14 and ​“Try and leave this world a lit­tle bet­ter than you found it.” —Robert Baden-Powell
