About Me

As the CEO and Founder of Take the Detour Travel, I help travelers slow down, reconnect, and experience the world with intention. My background began in hospitality, where I spent a decade learning how to anticipate unspoken needs, create ease, and design experiences that make people feel genuinely cared for. That foundation shaped the way I approach travel planning today — with warmth, intuition, and an unwavering commitment to thoughtful details.

I specialize in crafting elegant, soulful, and deeply personalized journeys for travelers who crave more than a checklist of sights. My clients come to me because they want travel that feels restorative, meaningful, and beautifully seamless. Whether it’s a Caribbean escape designed for pure ease, a European itinerary filled with culture and slow mornings, or an African safari that reconnects you with wonder, I build trips that honor who you are and how you want to feel.

What sets me apart is my ability to translate a feeling — not just a destination — into a curated experience. I listen closely, ask the right questions, and design itineraries that reflect your pace, your preferences, and your version of joy. My travelers often tell me they feel “held” throughout the entire process, from the first conversation to the moment they return home.

Some of my favorite destinations to design include the Caribbean, Europe, and Africa — places that invite presence, beauty, and a sense of rediscovery. I stay deeply connected to the industry through ongoing training, partnerships, and on-the-ground research, ensuring my clients receive expert guidance and elevated, trustworthy recommendations.

At Take the Detour Travel, my mission is simple: to create journeys that move you, restore you, and bring you back to yourself.

If you’re looking for a travel advisor who leads with care, designs with intention, and believes your trip should feel as good as it looks, I’d love to help you take your next detour.
