My love for travel took off early—thanks to my adventurous parents, I was practically born with a suitcase in hand! Growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, I was lucky to explore the world from a young age, and that wanderlust quickly turned into a lifelong passion (and profession).

For 11 years, I owned and operated my own travel agency, creating unforgettable experiences for clients across the globe. After selling the business, I packed up for Las Vegas in 1999, where I continued to thrive in the travel industry, as a Senior Vice President of a travel and casino marketing firm.

In 2003, I began leading adult group tours, many of which I helped design from the ground up. These adventures ranged from cozy trips with 17 guests to mega events with 500+ travelers—all made possible by incredible teamwork  of my staff.

In 2024, I stepped into the world of student tours, and loved every minute of it. The energy, curiosity, and pure excitement these young travelers brought to each trip was absolutely contagious.

At heart, I’m a people person. I thrive on building connections, creating memorable moments, and sharing the joy of discovery. As a Tour Director, I’m ready to go wherever the adventure calls—though if there’s a beach or a body of water nearby, that’s a definite bonus!
