Housekeeping

River Hofman

Head Housekeeper
First Aid, CPR, AED
Hometown: Brookings, OR

River is back for her second season at the ranch and stepping into the Head Housekeeper role! Prior to joining us she was active duty in the US Coast Guard. She grew up in a small town with horses, so the ranch reminds her of home. River is a 200hr RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher) and an outdoor enthusiast who loves climbing, backpacking, camping, slack lining, kayaking, skiing, skating, biking, surfing, and photography. Be sure to ask her about the pet alligator she used to have!

Tori Cochrum

Housekeeper
First Aid, CPR, AED
Hometown: Northwoods, IL

We are so happy to have Tori join us for her second season at VVR. Before coming to the ranch, she was a riding instructor in Oklahoma. Tori has also worked at a summer camp, teaching kids how to ride and take care of horses. When not riding, Tori enjoys exploring the great outdoors through hiking and running. 

Mya Thomas

Housekeeper
Hometown: San Antonio, TX

Mya joins our housekeeping team for her first season here at the ranch. A student at Northwest Vista College, where she’s pursuing a degree in International Studies, she hopes to find a job doing humanitarian work (one could argue, she’s found that with us!). When Mya’s not busy sprucing up cabins, you’ll find her taking photos, hiking, traveling, eating and spending time with animals. Fun (chilly?) fact: This is the first time Mya has lived anywhere where the temps drop below 60!

Tori Ramirez

Housekeeper
Hometown: San Antonio, TX

Tori joins us for her first season as a member of our dynamo housekeeping team. Prior to Vista Verde, she worked as a Bartender, Housekeeper and Chicken Tender (as in, one who tends to chickens) at a remote Alaskan lodge. Tori is a Dean’s list graduate from Texas Tech University where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Global Studies, Arabic and Russian and she hopes to pursue work as a War Journalist!

Karleigh Zack

Housekeeper
Hometown: Buffalo, NY

Karleigh joins our housekeeping team for her first season at VVR, after working as a Certified Nursing Assistant and an American Ninja Coach! It was her first job, however, working and volunteering at a therapeutic riding center, that sparked her love for the equine community and awareness of horses’ abilities to positively impact the moods and behaviors of their riders. In addition to her love of horses, she’s also pretty keen on the great outdoors. When she’s not ironing pillow cases, you can find her hiking, camping, skiing and …cliff jumping! Fun Fact: Her entire extended family has been camping on Cape Cod every summer for over 80 years!
