She loves to share her knowledge and experience with our gluten-free community.

Elikqitie is based in Park City, UT, within driving distance to the world's largest ski resort and five of the most beautiful National Parks the US has to offer! She loves frolicking in the outdoors and enjoys skiing, hiking, camping, mountain biking, and the multitude of outdoor activities Utah offers. Her central location in the US provides many opportunities to travel to magnificent places where she discovers new gluten-free bakeries, products, and extraordinary people!
