My passion for travel was ignited while studying abroad in New Zealand during my junior year of college. This was just before smartphones and laptops were the norm, so our trip was spent truly experiencing the culture and beauty of New Zealand. I had never traveled so far away or seen anything like it and although I didn’t know I would wind up in the travel industry at that point, I knew seeing more of the world would be a priority in my life.

I entered the travel industry in 2006 working for The Sanctuary on Kiawah Island before quickly transitioning to a national sales role with a 5-star oceanfront property on the west coast of Ireland. I spent 7 years with that property working with travel advisors and the golf sector and this is where my knowledge of the industry was really developed. After a two-year stint living and working for a property in the Caribbean I made my way to the “supplier” side of the industry where I served as VP of Sales for a well-known hotel representation company that exclusively services luxury travel advisors. My time there dramatically increased my knowledge of an impressive portfolio of luxury and boutique properties in the UK, Ireland and Italy.

The unique combination of experience I have on both the hotel and supplier side of the travel industry brings a special perspective, allowing me to deliver truly exceptional experiences to my clients. I absolutely love sharing my knowledge with others that in turn opens up new and enhanced travel insights and experiences.
