Dominique Ianni

Dominique spent much of her childhood on the road, traveling in the summer with her family's carnival business. During the school year, she was always at practice or a game as she played volleyball, softball and basketball most of her life. As she grew, she learned she had an appreciation for the silence and peace that nature provides. She loves hiking and exploring old ghost towns with her friends and family… “Nevada has over 600 ghost towns, so we’re never without an opportunity for a new adventure!”

Many of her first outdoor adventures were road trips while RV-ing from one carnival, one town, and one county fair to the next. She is most inspired by everyday people who have overcome incredible challenges. “I am always impressed when people have endured difficult things and still choose personal growth. I am also really inspired by kindness and try to embody these same characteristics.”

When asked about working for Desert Adventures she said… “I work for the best outdoor adventure company around. As employees, we are given opportunities for continuing education. We in turn share that knowledge with our guests when helping them plan their next adventure. I love being a part of a company that practices sustainability. We also educate guests about preservation and respect for our beautiful lands and its native roots. And it's pretty awesome that we get employee perks like kayaking on our days off.”
