My Story
NYC-based aspiring boutique hotel developer. Stuff I love (aside from boutique hotels): skiing, wine, hiking trails and fabulous dinner reservations.
My Travel Style
A few things to know about me: I grew up in a small ski resort and hotel… in the middle of nowhere. This engrained in me an appreciation for & understanding of the power of a great hospitality experience. It also taught me the beauty of small-scale, unique experiences. Enter: boutique hotels!
Out of this interest in hotels as a business, I chose to work in the Real Estate, Gaming and Lodging sector for my stint as an Investment Banking Analyst. This gave me an awareness of the lodging market landscape and exposure to clients who own interesting pieces of hotel real estate all over the world! Feeling drained from my day (& night) job in banking, I wanted to feel like I was doing my own thing (even if small at first!). So I got certified as a travel advisor through Fora — After making the decision to leave banking for a job in the startup space, I booked my very first hotel for my travel muse and mom… and I was hooked! I find such satisfaction in helping others maximize the vacations for which they have been waiting and working for what feels like ages!

Settle into the Swiss Riviera: Insider's Guide to Summer on Lake Geneva
Switzerland is the ultimate destination for views. Dubbed the Swiss Riviera, the cities along Lake Geneva offer hotels that overlook a truly sublime setting: glassy lakes backdropped by massive mountains. A trip to Switzerland in the summertime is sure to leave you with a taste of adventure, whether you are visiting storybook villages, partaking in once-in-a-lifetime hikes, enjoying mountainside fondue or paragliding through the Alps. Staying in the Swiss Riviera is easily accessible (1.5 hour car ride from the Geneva Airport) and it is a short day-trip drive (1.5–2 hours) from cities in the Swiss country side, such as Interlaken. It is a great home base to see the eastern side of the country if you do not wish to move hotels almost nightly.
