Ciara is a Jackson Hole native, and like most locals, her life revolves around the outdoors and community. She made her way back to Jackson after receiving her bachelor's degree in International Business and Mandarin Chinese from the University of Wyoming.
Because of her intimate knowledge of JH's unique natural beauty, Ciara is both concerned about preservation and is excited to share this beauty with her clientele. The close-knit appeal of JH's population contrasts with the vastness of its surrounding majesty. It is this contrast that Ciara will always keep as she pursues her career in bringing her love for JH and the greater Teton Valley to her real estate clients.
Ciara is licensed in both WY and ID, with experience in residential, multi-family, commercial, business acquisitions, and developmental work.
