In 1997, after a seven year detour as an attorney, I returned to my travel roots as a leisure travel consultant. My parents introduced me to travel with numerous trips across the United States and Canada. They encouraged my study abroad in Spain and England.Since those early beginnings, I have been fortunate to travel to all 7 continents. My love of travel remains unabated. My most precious trips have been spent in the company of my husband and three children. Despite my detailed planning, my favorite experiences have been serendipitous.

My travel philosophy is encapsulated in the phrase, “Sure, why not.” My job is to listen carefully to my clients and turn what they want into reality. The “want” is unique to each individual and varies over time and circumstance. I specialize in my clients versus particular geographical destinations. My personal travel quests and taken me to more than 60 countries and Antarctica, the best trip I never knew I wanted to take.

I graduated with Distinction from the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University and earned my J. D. from the University of Pennsylvania. In addition to earning numerous destination specialist certifications, I have served on the Virtuoso Active and Specialty Travel Planning Board and the Virtuoso Baby Boomer Advisory Team. I chaired the first four years of the the Largay Travel Independent Contractor Advisory Board. Additionally, I authored an article on Colombia for Luxury Travel Advisor.
