About

My passion for travel was sparked at an early age thanks to my adventurous parents!   I’ve been globetrotting practically since I could walk. Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, I turned that passion into a career by owning and operating my own travel agency for 11 years. After selling the business, I relocated to Las Vegas in 1999, where I continued pursuing opportunities in the travel industry and managed a travel/casino marketing firm.

In 2003, I began leading adult group tours that I helped create for a travel and casino marketing firm.  Group sizes ranged from intimate gatherings of 17 to large-scale excursions of up to 500 guests—always supported by a great team of fellow Tour Directors.

2024 Tour marked my first season working with student groups, and I absolutely loved the energy, curiosity, and sense of adventure they brought to each trip.

I’m a true people person who loves making connections and sharing the joy of new experiences. As a Tour Manager, I’m excited by the opportunity to work anywhere in the world—and I’m especially happy when I’m near the water!

Fun Fact!
Hobbies & Interests
When I’m not on tour, you can usually find me soaking up live outdoor music—especially if it’s an ‘80s tribute band (big hair and all, yes please!). I love game nights with family and friends, where things get a little competitive. Reading is another passion of mine—there’s always a book in my bag, especially when I’m on the move. Or, you can catch me volunteering at my local German club - prost!
