From a young age, travel has been a constant in my life. Not only have I lived in four states (and England), but my family also prioritized getting out and seeing new places. Whether that meant quick weekend escapes close to home, trips to the Caribbean and Mexico, or cross-country RV travel throughout the United States, travel was always a family priority. Those experiences shaped how I travel and how I plan, focused on the right pacing, best logistics, and time spent where it matters.

Over the years, I have lived in several states, visited multiple countries, sailed on a variety of cruises (both ocean and river), and spent more than a year abroad. Spending extended time outside the United States gave me a practical understanding of what makes a trip feel seamless on the ground, from airport flow and transfers to hotel location, room category selection, and how to balance highlights with downtime (for example, I have done the “tight connection with a terminal change” sprint, and I now build itineraries so my clients do not have to recreate it).

After earning my MBA, I turned that lifelong interest into my profession. I plan tailored itineraries built around each client’s priorities, travel style, and comfort level. My role is equal parts strategist and advocate: I manage details, anticipate potential travel issues, and leverage trusted preferred partners to add value where possible. I also place a high priority on responsiveness and clear communication throughout the planning process.

Cruising (both river and ocean) is a favorite of mine, but I also design both guided and independent itineraries for clients who prefer other modes of travel. I look forward to working with you and helping you plan travel wherever and however you wish to travel, that is well-organized, personalized, and genuinely enjoyable!

Please note, I have only included my United States travel since 2017 in my travel list, but my overall travel history is more extensive.
