About

As is likely common among Trip Schoolers, I love to travel! I’ve learned over the years that travel is best in the company of others–that’s why I’m here! All the better if I can help fellow travelers understand more about what they are seeing and experiencing. As the Trip School team says: It’s all about making memorable moments for those around you; I’m keen to enable travelers to have an experience of a lifetime *on every trip they take*. 

I’m excited to get to know the Trip School/Campfire team and the broader travel community! 

Tours Offered & Destination Knowledge

Cultural/Specialty ToursMulti-Day Tour Director/LeaderPrivate ToursStudent Tour Director

I am new to the tour director scene, but I've traveled to over 50 countries, lived in Scotland, and have studied abroad twice (Japan and Hong Kong). I grew up in a military family which engendered a "bloom where you are planted" mentality--a mindset that comes in really handy when traveling! I have an elementary understanding of the Japanese language (and am currently taking coursework to become more proficient). I am a quick study and would relish the opportunity to direct a tour in any (relatively-safe) location. 

Fun Fact!
Traveled to over 50 countries and spent my formative years in Scotland.
Hobbies & Interests
Outside of travel, I love to hang with my husband, dog, and cat just outside of Nashville, TN. I've worked in both corporate, nonprofit, and educational settings--most recently serving as an entrepreneurship program director at the high school level.

Additional Education

I completed tour operator Joshua Expedition's tour director offsite (Arizona) training in August '23. I am currently receiving training through Trip School. Having been a teacher many times in my career (from high school to graduate level), I am very comfortable teaching, directing, and when necessary, corralling groups! :) I am a certified "Toastmaster" through Toastmaster's International. But, mostly, I have a heart for people who want to know a little bit more about our world through the gift of travel.

General Availability

I have no restrictions on my calendar; I am a full-time tour director.
