I’ve built my career around bringing experiences to life, and now I’m thrilled to channel that passion into creating unforgettable journeys as a luxury travel advisor. With a background in digital marketing and luxury branding, I bring an eye for detail and a creative touch to every itinerary I design. Growing up between the city of Chicago and Lake Michigan (in Michigan), I developed a love for both culture and nature that continues to shape the way I see the world. After years of planning memorable trips for family and friends, moving into luxury travel advising was a natural next step. I thrive on building genuine connections, understanding what makes each traveler unique, and crafting experiences that feel both seamless and extraordinary.
Favorite Destination and Why: Paris and South Africa are two of my favorite places, and it’s impossible to choose just one. Paris pulls me in with its charming cafes, tucked-away galleries, and the kind of charm you only find wandering its streets. South Africa is pure magic, where being on safari, learning from the guides, and experiencing the wildlife up close is something I could do a hundred times and still be in awe.
Areas of Specialty: Europe, Caribbean, Africa, Group Travel, Girls Trips, Honeymoons.
My Travel Style Is: Exploring by walking, connecting with locals/fellow travelers, cuisine-focused.
