I owe my love of travel to my parents who gifted me the greatest inspiration of all—a passion for exploring the world. That passion is what eventually led me to this career, helping others create meaningful moments with the confidence and peace of mind they deserve—travel, but make it elevated.
Before becoming a luxury travel advisor, I built my career in the marketing and medical fields—professions that taught me precision, empathy, and how to truly listen. But nothing compares to the delight of designing journeys that move people.
My goal is to curate bespoke experiences that leave a meaningful emotional imprint—travel that’s thoughtfully curated, effortlessly luxurious, and crafted to make you feel seen. Because travel isn’t just about where you go—it’s about how it makes you feel. And my greatest reward? Knowing I helped create the moments you’ll never forget.
Favorite Destination and Why: Iceland would have to be my favorite destination so far—its otherworldly landscape and endless sense of adventure are unmatched. From chasing waterfalls to scaling icebergs to soaking in world-famous geothermal spas, every moment felt transcendent. Watching the Northern Lights dance above us on our second night was truly the icing on the cake.
Areas of Specialty: I specialize in actively listening to my clients. My goal is to curate one-of-a-kind journeys that go far beyond the ordinary—thoughtfully detailed, seamlessly organized, and sprinkled with a few VIP touches along the way.
My Travel Style Is: Although I love the spontaneity that travel invites, I prefer a loosely structured itinerary—planned enough to feel effortless, yet flexible enough to leave room for discovery. Let’s be honest, sometimes you just need a day to recover from jet lag!
Languages: English with a touch of Spanish
Fun Facts About Me:
I held a baby panda in China who weighed more than I did.
I skydived from 14,000 feet over the Great Barrier Reef, then earned my PADI certification on a three-day liveaboard.
I watched the Monaco Grand Prix from a superyacht—then promptly lost all my winnings at the Monte Carlo Casino.
I played with baby elephants at a sanctuary in Africa and seriously considered how to smuggle one home.
I dined at a Michelin-starred restaurant atop Portugal’s tallest tower (I’m a sucker for multi-course tasting menus).
I took my first solo trip to Amsterdam and Copenhagen—loved the freedom of exploring solo, but I have to admit, adventures are always better with company.
