Travel style

After two decades of coordinating epic events and working in entertainment, it's official — I’m your travel advisor! Think of me as your personal travel concierge with a knack for uncovering hidden gems, the best eats and artsy, off-the-beaten-path experiences.

I specialize in NYC, Puerto Rico and Florida — places I know like the back of my hand after living in New York City for 15 years and West Palm Beach, and planning events and conferences. My event planning career has taken me across the country, orchestrating large conferences in Austin, San Francisco, New Orleans, Denver, Orlando, Boston, Puerto Rico, Savannah, Baltimore, Chesapeake Bay and Charlotte — so if you need insider tips in any of these, I’ve got you covered! I’ve been traveling with my daughter since the day she could fit in a carry-on (kidding… kind of), and I work with chefs throughout the country for events, always on the hunt for the next unforgettable meal. If you’re looking for travel infused with culture, theater, food, or are eager to explore the rich heritage of the African-American Diaspora and Indigenous traditions, I’m your person. Let’s make magic happen on your next adventure!
