Eliza Heath
Regional Senior Sales Manager
Big Sky, Montana
Eliza Heath
As a true native of Jackson Hole, Eliza brings her 15+ years of relationships with her, as well as an extensive “little black book” filled with the best experiences you can find throughout the local area.
After graduating from the University of Miami with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History, she lives by the saying, “you don’t’ know where you’re going unless you know where you’ve been.” Eliza’s passion for curating once-in-a-lifetime events and experiences for her clients continues to grow and flourish, and she is thrilled to now expand her reach to encompass Big Sky, Montana – which she calls “one of the best kept secrets in the West.’
Outside of her professional career, Eliza loves spending time with her husband Levi, son Bodie, and two dogs: Hudson and Ridley – and you can almost always find her outside, soaking up the sunshine, on or near a body of water, or tending to her garden at home.
