About
I am an experienced and enthusiastic tour guide, leading local tours in and around the Bay area. I have developed several niche products over the years, including a Silicon Valley tour which has been written about in Forbes, and the Washington Post, Most recently I have been offering virtual tours online. I use maps, Google slides, and Google Earth to show off my area within any theme chosen by the attendees. For the past year, I've been creating short videos about local history and local culture. They are posted on You Tube, Tik Tok,and Instagram under @stayhomewithsharon Before the pandemic, I also led tours of the Hewlett Packard Garage and home in Palo Alto for HP employees, and VIPs Now I currently serve as a tour guide for Stanford University, specifically for the Graduate School of Business and other departments when needed
