Here’s what you should know before we go anywhere: my love of travel runs deep — whether I’m jetting off for business, making memories with family and friends, or happily exploring solo (yes, a table for one can be fabulous).

In 2025, I founded Studio M Travel to bring together everything I love: travel, planning, and helping people experience the world in style. While the brand is new, the expertise behind it isn’t. For more than 30 years, I’ve been planning and producing travel, events, and experiences for corporate executives (who expected mind-reading levels of detail) and for my own family (who never wanted the same thing twice). That mix taught me how to design trips that are seamless, flexible, and—above all—personal.

I’m a California native, a long-time career professional, CEO of a family of 5, and diehard planner who decided to finally use her powers for good. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, sneaking away for a weekend, or orchestrating a once-in-a-lifetime journey, I’m here to make sure you can simply arrive.

Fun Facts:

• Champagne is my love language.
• I’ll never say no to live music or a big game day.
• Crossword puzzles are my daily brain workout.
• I squeal quietly over a perfect hotel bathroom.
• Planning and problem-solving are my superpowers — travel just happens to be my favorite outlet.
