My love of travel started early, thanks to my father’s passion for exploring the world’s top scuba diving spots. I joined him on many of his adventures, and these experiences sparked a lifelong curiosity and appreciation for discovering new places. This has fueled my 25+ years as a professional travel planner and — whether it’s a solo adventure, a milestone trip or a much-needed mind & body reset — I still love designing trips that help my clients reconnect, recharge and return home feeling refreshed... Already dreaming about what’s next.
