Hello! I’m the founder of Salt & Light Travel Co.®, a travel design studio specializing in purpose-driven group travel for families, organizations, and communities seeking meaningful connection through travel.

I design and host thoughtfully curated journeys that go beyond logistics—bringing people together through culture, reflection, service, and shared experience. My work includes multigenerational family travel, nonprofit and organizational retreats, educational and connection-based journeys, and select pilgrimages for groups seeking spiritual depth.

With a background in project management and adult learning design within the life sciences industry, I bring a structured, intentional approach to planning complex itineraries. Clients value my ability to translate vision into well-executed experiences that balance clarity, care, and seamless coordination. Through trusted Virtuoso partnerships, I ensure every journey is thoughtfully designed, well-supported, and deeply memorable.
