About
As an educator and former principal, I’ve always believed that travel is one of life’s greatest classrooms—cultivating future-ready skills and a deeper understanding of the world. I’m passionate about exploring destinations that blend wellness, luxury and adventure. Whether I’m reading on a beach, cheering on my two teens as they surf, or hiking to the top of a mountain to take in the view, I embrace every opportunity to learn, grow and connect with the world around me.
