I became a travel advisor in 2012 while planning a group cruise for friends, and I’ve never looked back. What began as a single trip quickly turned into a calling, revealing what truly lights me up: the research, the logistics, and the satisfaction of helping others experience the world with confidence and excitement. Travel planning fits me to a tee, I’m detail-oriented, endlessly curious, and genuinely fulfilled by being of service.

Over the years, I’ve explored many styles of travel and discovered what resonates most deeply with me. With more than 70 cruises completed and travel to roughly 45 countries, I’ve developed a particular passion for small-ship cruising, especially expedition and river voyages where access, immersion, and enrichment take center stage.

Expedition cruising continues to spark my imagination and fuel my love of discovery. From Antarctica and the Galápagos to Iceland and Greenland, these journeys reach the edges of the map and offer far more than a traditional vacation. Expedition travel blends adventure with education, comfort with curiosity, and awe with understanding. It’s ideal for travelers who want to learn, observe, and connect, deeply and authentically, with nature, wildlife, culture, and history.

These voyages typically feature intimate ships, expert-led excursions, and flexible itineraries that adapt to conditions and opportunities. Whether you’re kayaking past glaciers, hiking volcanic landscapes, or observing wildlife from a Zodiac, each day delivers extraordinary moments that stay with you long after you return home.

In addition to expedition cruising, I also specialize in small-group and solo travel, both of which beautifully complement a spirit of exploration. Small groups bring together like-minded travelers, while solo journeys offer a uniquely empowering experience. As someone who often travels independently, I understand both the freedom and the questions that come with going solo, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

While I’ll never say no to warmth, sunshine, and a beautiful beach, I’m equally drawn to the planet’s wildest frontiers. If I had to choose one place that truly took my breath away, it would be Antarctica, raw, humbling, and endlessly powerful. Europe remains a favorite return destination, but it’s the less-traveled paths and transformative journeys that continue to call me.

As a Virtuoso travel advisor and proud Virtuoso Voyages host, a role I truly enjoy, I love sailing alongside Virtuoso guests on select voyages, adding an extra layer of care, connection, and insider support. Through exclusive Virtuoso benefits, hosted sailings, trusted global partnerships, and on-the-ground expertise, I elevate every journey, ensuring your travel investment delivers exceptional value and unforgettable experiences.
