Born into a family of hoteliers, she has provided exceptional hospitality experiences in
metropolitan areas such as New York, Phoenix, and Seattle – as well as smaller, more intimate
markets in Oklahoma, Arkansas, New Mexico and Texas. Settling in West Texas in the early

Cowboys work hard caring for herds of cattle, and they are experts at doing their jobs on horseback.
Many cowboys also perform in rodeos, either for money or just for fun. A cowboy is traditionally male,
and while there are women who do the same work on ranches, they're typically called cowgirls. The
word cowboy dates from the early 1800s in the Western United States — sometimes these ranch
workers were called cowhands or cowpokes.
