I was bitten by the travel bug at a young age, and as I’ve grown older, I’ve become increasingly passionate about luxury travel. It was when I traveled on a milestone birthday bucket list trip to Tanzania with my mother while staying at several of the Singita properties when I realized that the properties you select can make a trip truly unforgettable.

I firmly believe a trip shouldn’t just be a trip, it should be an experience: one that is immersive in culture, adventure, a time to be used for self awareness, relaxation, or a time to create precious memories with family and friends. It is a matter of creating a perfect balance between pre-planned moments with the best guides and time at leisure to get lost in your destination. I’m here to help you create that balance so you don’t return home saying, “I need a vacation from my vacation”.

I have been fortunate enough to live in many different places—from Maine to Southern California, Boston, and even as far as Tasmania—and in that time, have been able to explore so many destinations, experiencing different cultures, landscapes, food, people, and more.

Up until recently, I worked as a nurse practitioner full-time, but felt there was a void in my professional life. I knew I needed my passion for travel to become part of my career path. Stars finally aligned and I am thrilled to have joined the team at The Journey Bound! When you work with us, it is full-service, stress-free, and you’ll travel better than you ever imagined.

My clients value my attention to detail and level of organization. They appreciate how I listen, making sure each trip I design is truly customized to their needs. They have ultimate peace of mind, knowing they are in trusting hands from the time we start the planning process until the time they are back home.

When I'm not traveling or designing your next dream vacation, I can be found spending time with my husband and two young children, in the kitchen cooking up a new recipe, or getting inspiration from my travels for interior design projects at home.
