My love for travel and hospitality started back in sunny Santa Barbara, where I joined my first hotel team in 2008. From there, I was hooked. Over the years, I’ve lived in and explored cities like San Francisco, Denver, Charlotte, Portland, and NYC, always soaking up the local energy and finding the best coffee shops, bites, and views. One of the most meaningful chapters was my time in Central America, especially Costa Rica, where I really connected with the slower, more intentional pace of life.

What began as a hobby — planning trips for friends and family — naturally turned into something bigger. I realized how much I love the behind-the-scenes details, the puzzle pieces that make a trip feel effortless, exciting, and truly personal.

Now, as a travel advisor with Santa Barbara Travel Bureau, a proud Virtuoso member, I help others experience the joy of seeing the world their way. Whether it’s a luxe escape, a celebration trip, a multi-stop itinerary, or an inclusive journey that considers accessibility and LGBTQ+ needs, I bring care and customization to every itinerary I build.

And the adventure isn’t just for my clients — my family and I are preparing for a year of travel abroad, starting in 2026. I’ll be documenting it all on my travel blog, and I can’t wait to share what we learn along the way.

Let’s plan something unforgettable together.
