I’ve been travel-obsessed since childhood—studying flight schedules, collecting cruise brochures, even launching a travel website as a teen. That passion led me to go to college at Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration and a Semester at Sea study abroad program traveling where I traveled around the world. After graduating, I went to sea professionally, working onboard Celebrity Cruises in luxury hotel operations. Living shipboard gave me rare, behind-the-scenes insight into what truly distinguishes each line, which itineraries deliver, and which ports are worth your time—expertise I use today as a luxury ocean and river cruise specialist to match clients with the perfect sailing.

I’ve redeemed 15M+ miles and points to fly First and Business on major international carriers and stay at iconic five-star hotels across 70+ countries. I founded Blue Sky Journeys to put that firsthand expertise to work—crafting luxury trips for honeymooners, retirees, and families alike. Travel isn’t just my job—it’s my life. I can’t wait to help you explore the world in ways you never imagined.
