Though my obsession with travel started at 18 years old when I visited my family in Greece, it was not until years later that I began my career in travel. It all started in 2014, when I accepted a complex and demanding role, based in the USVI, managing the lifestyle of an energy tycoon including near constant travel. In 2.5 years I had both planned and personally attended his luxury trips to more than 20 countries, at times, with dozens of travelers to manage. I was once given 11 hours’ notice to plan a turnkey trip to Tokyo for 7 travelers and somehow pulled it off.

The energy and joy I found in researching destinations and making the impossible happen through key relationships inspired me to form Brio Travel Artisans, LLC. Brio’s focus is crafting turnkey ultra luxury travel and private events attending to each client’s unique style with resourcefulness, dependability and creative thinking. We pride ourselves in truly connecting with our clients because we believe travel is a highly personal experience. For clients who have personal staff, we are able to act as an extension of their team. My dedication to frequent scouting of destinations, luxury experiences and accommodations puts us in a unique position to relate to well-traveled high net worth clientele.

Born and raised in Nashville, TN, my first career, in luxury real estate, gave me plenty of experience managing details. I led experiential marketing campaigns assisting in record-breaking sales. We produced dozens upscale wine and art events, private events for TN Titans and country music stars and a lavish condo grand opening with 500+ in attendance.

Still based in Nashville, I am often found biking the city's greenways, acting as amateur chef of my kitchen, working sudoku puzzles, hanging with my island rescue mutt, Honeybee, or planning my own, near constant travels.
