After 20 years in the world of retail management from coffee to wine, jumping into travel as my next career is a thrilling place to be! I am a native Californian currently living in the Pacific Northwest, an advanced level wine and spirits professional, a trained interior designer, a Starbucks “Coffee Master”, and have been a lifelong Francophile. My personal travels have taken me to France, Italy, England, Ireland, Spain, South Africa, and many wine regions within California and Oregon. In 2019, I started my own travel business to offer small group, women only tours for food, wine and cultural adventures, but it has been paused by the pandemic. 2021 brought the incredible opportunity to explore some of America’s National Parks and it was an amazing experience. Sharing the things I have learned with others comes naturally for me, and I have a passion for people!
