Europe, Family/Groups, Virgin Voyages Cruises

Half Dome, Yosemite, CA

Travel has been a lifelong passion - one that’s taken me to more than 40 countries throughout my life. Whether for work or for wonder, I’ve always been drawn to the richness of other cultures and the memorable experiences along the way. From my early days as a ticket agent for Delta Airlines to a long career in the tech and corporate world, travel has always remained at the heart of my life. I’ve also had the opportunity to live abroad for both school and work assignments, which reinforced my belief that travel isn’t just about the places we go - it’s about the perspective we gain and the memories that stay with us forever.

As a certified project manager (PMP), I bring the same organization, precision, and thoughtful planning to every itinerary I design. My approach is detail-driven and highly personalized. I’ve spent years planning unforgettable trips for family and friends, and now I’m excited to share that same passion and care with a wider circle of travelers.

More than anything, I believe in creating fun, joyful, and lasting memories - the kind that bring people closer and stay with you long after the trip ends. Let’s design a journey that’s perfectly yours - crafted with intention, and filled with moments you’ll never forget. 

My current focus areas include Europe, Family/Groups and Cruises.
