"Guiding changes lives."

About

I am a guide, tour director, operator and trainer living in Brooklyn, NY. I started in the industry in 2001, while a student in Paris, leading groups around the city. I became an international tour director across Europe, and started my own tour company which I sold in 2012, and moved to New York. I transitioned into the role of guide trainer, leading private trainings for companies, and then founding TripSchool with Alan Armijo. TripSchool now leads in-person and online classes for guides, tour directors, entrepreneurs and more, across North America and Europe.

I love my dog, listening to and composing opera music, and mining books for obscure facts when I have a few minutes of free time!
