I thought I'd end up telling travel stories. Instead, I found something even better: helping people create them.

A Background in Exploring

I believe that travel is about connection. Whether you're celebrating life's beautiful milestones or gathering generations of your family for a once-in-a-lifetime journey, travel creates space to connect with those around us, deepen our understanding of the world, and discover more about ourselves along the way.

With a background in public relations, I originally envisioned a career in the travel industry through tourism marketing or destination representation. Becoming a travel advisor was meant to be a way to gain firsthand industry experience during a time where tourism-focused internships were not readily available. Instead, I discovered something even better: a career that perfectly combines my love of travel, storytelling, and serving others.

Today, I specialize in crafting thoughtfully planned vacations that allow my clients to focus on what matters most: being present for the experience. From European river cruises and once-in-a-lifetime adventures to honeymoons, family vacations, and group getaways, I believe exceptional travel should feel authentic to you and genuinely exciting.

The Values Behind Every Trip

Every itinerary I craft is grounded in a set of core beliefs about what travel and working with an advisor should feel like.

People First

Your needs always come before a commission or a quota. I listen first, then plan — and I never stop being available to you throughout the whole journey.

Intentional Community

One of the most rewarding aspects of travel is connecting with the world around you and those traveling with you. I strive to create spaces where travelers can build community virtually and in-person.

Enrichment Through Experience

Whether it's a bucket list adventure or a relaxing getaway, I believe that travel should bring you joy and fulfillment and enrich your life.

Integrity & Transparency

I believe in building trust through honest communication and clear expectations. My goal is to ensure you feel confident and informed throughout your travel journey.
