I am passionate about inspiring learning, discovery and connection through meaningful travel experiences. I earned my Masters in Tourism Administration in 2007 and since then I have built a diverse career in travel in roles across tours & experiences, destinations and hospitality. I co-founded a culinary tour company based in the Washington, DC metro area and later volunteered as a walking tour guide for 4 years. Most recently I’ve been a marketing & communications leader in hospitality. However, the work that is closest to my own values and motivates me to keep learning is leading tours and developing experiences.  I love working directly with travelers and operators and using my communication, organization, leadership and above all my passion for this industry to create amazing travel experiences.
