A true Cancer, hotel-slipper-obsessed gal whose IG Explore page is full of dogs & luxury hotels.
I grew up on the sunny coast of beautiful San Diego, where I attended San Diego State University and received my Bachelor’s Degree in Hospitality & Tourism Management, with an emphasis on Meetings & Events Operations & Management. During that time, I studied abroad in Florence where my passion for travel really began to take hold. In 2014, I moved to Austin, Texas and worked as an event planner for 5 years where I began traveling over 250 days per year managing corporate meetings & incentive travel.
By 2016, my love of travel had grown too strong to ignore. I knew I had to turn this passion into a business, so I made the leap to the luxury leisure market and founded Passport to Friday, an affiliate of EMBARK Beyond, a Virtuoso agency.
In 2019, I made the exciting move to New York City, where I've been loving life ever since. That same year, I was nominated for the “Most Innovative Advisor” award at Virtuoso Travel Week and also achieved Marriott International Luxury Brands’ “STARS Celestial Club” status. In 2022, I joined the team at Knightsbridge Circle as their Head of North America as well.
It's been the most incredible adventure, and the travel industry continues to amaze and surprise me every day. I can't wait to see what else is in store in this wonderful career.

She recently married the love of her life in a beautiful, intimate ceremony on Maui. She spends her free time running her wedding photography business, traveling, playing with her pups, getting outside, painting, listening to music, or relaxing with her hubby, a movie, and a glass of red wine.
