Born and raised in the Eastern Sierras, I have a love for the mountains and the active small-town lifestyle that comes with it. You can find me on the slopes in the winter and on the trails in the summer! I have been lucky enough to spend most of my twenties traveling, exploring places beyond Mammoth Lakes. I received my bachelor’s degree in Journalism at a university in Nairobi, Kenya – a place I now consider to be my second home. Regardless of my time in Africa, these mountains always seem to call me back. You know what they say, there truly is no place like home!
“Adapt and Adjust” -Family Motto
Growing up by the beaches, heading for a mountain getaway was true excitement. I decided to turn it into a lifestyle. I moved to Mammoth in 2007 and was fortunate enough to meet my husband and our daughter was born there. Mammoth will always be home, regardless of where I reside. We are currently residents in South Lake Tahoe, enjoying everything this mountain town has to offer. Summer, winter, spring, or fall, there’s always a reason to step outside and breathe in the fresh mountain air.

“The mountains are calling and I must go.” – John Muir
My family moved to Bishop when I was two; after graduating high school I couldn’t wait to leave town! After traveling and living in some amazing places, including New Zealand, I returned to town to be closer to family and my beloved Mt. Tom. I enjoy hiking – mostly seeing the wildflowers and exploring the mountains.
I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with such an amazing group of people and this amazing company!

From a young age, the mountains have been my sanctuary, a constant in a world of change. Whether it’s the majestic peaks of Vail, Colorado, or the lush, rugged terrain of Hawaii, my connection to these natural wonders runs deep. When I’m not immersed in nature, you’ll find me dedicated to both personal and professional growth, fueled by a genuine passion and commitment to making a positive impact within my community and company.
My journey has been profoundly shaped by my father, whose philanthropic work in Vail and esteemed career as a real estate broker left an indelible mark on me. His dedication to making a difference inspired me to pursue a similar path. In 2024, I embraced a new chapter by relocating to Steamboat Springs with my supportive and loving partner. Here, we’ve committed ourselves to community engagement and positive advancements. I am honored to lead as the Business Developer for Nomadness Rentals in both Steamboat Springs and Mammoth, California, where I channel my enthusiasm and expertise into fostering growth and building lasting relationships.

“Worrying is like paying a debt you don’t owe.” – Mark Twain
I’m originally from Boston but the prospect of world-class skiing and beautiful hiking trails drew me to Mammoth. I moved out here in December of 2024 and haven’t regretted it once. This journey has opened up the world to me and I’ll be forever grateful. I’ve been able to visit several national parks and can’t wait to see more. I’m always encouraging family and friends to visit and anytime they do, they fall in love. Within just a few days of my parents first visit, they were already joking about buying a place out here because of how beautiful it is. I hope to call Mammoth home for a very long time.
Living in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, I’ve built my life around blending hands-on problem-solving with technical innovation. As a property maintenance professional, I help keep rental homes running smoothly year-round—whether it’s a frozen pipe in winter or a faulty appliance in summer. Behind the scenes, I’m a cybersecurity-focused systems tinkerer, passionate about stripping Windows machines down to their efficient cores, modifying firmware, testing system security, and exploring open-source manipulation of large language models. I also custom-build networks and servers tailored for performance and control.
Driven by a passion for optimization and a deep curiosity about how things work—and how they break—I aim to merge rugged, real-world reliability with technical precision and cybersecurity best practices. Whether I’m configuring a dev environment, reviving hardware, or laying the foundation for a new business venture, I stay focused on creating systems that are secure, efficient, and built to last.

My name is Jessica Avitia, and I’m proud to come from the small town of Bishop, California—where life moves a little slower, the skies are a little wider, and the mountains are always in view. Growing up in the heart of the Eastern Sierras taught me to appreciate the simple things: family, nature, and the strength that comes from community.
I’m a mother of three amazing kids who keep me grounded, inspired, and on my toes. Being a mom has been the most rewarding adventure of all—one that’s helped shape me into the person I am today.
“It’s the adventures we take that turn into the stories we cherish.”
