For eight years, I designed integrations at tech companies – a role that gave me the incredible freedom to work remotely and truly explore this country. From Atlanta and Chicago to San Diego and Key West, I took full advantage, and along the way I got to know the US National Park system very well.

I got my start as a campus guide at the University of Florida, long before tech was even in the picture. That spark never went away. 

Today I’m based in Washington, DC, which is where my destination knowledge is strongest. I’m a relatively new tour director – primarily leading student tours locally – but I’m eager to grow into new cities. Savannah and Charleston are at the top of my list. I’m interested in designing cultural tours that weave in local vendors and deliver real authenticity for travelers of all ages.

I have a strong head for logistics, and I know how to have fun. I am purpose driven and my goal in this profession is to create unexpected, transformative moments that make guests feel genuinely connected to a foreign place – the kind of experiences that are impossible to forget.
