I handle every detail so you can simply relax and enjoy your trip. In 2024, I was honored to be named a Travel + Leisure Rising Star for my work in creating unforgettable travel experiences.
Favorite Destination
Nantucket – For its beaches, vibrant culinary scene, and the signature “Crucumber” at Cru. To me, it’s quintessentially New England. Ravello, Italy – A place I’ve cherished since childhood, deeply connected to my Italian heritage, and made even more meaningful when I married at Palazzo Avino in 2024.
Areas of Speciality
Europe (with a focus on Italy and Greece), the Caribbean, and the U.S. with a special emphasis on New England.
My Travel Style
Thoughtfully planned from start to finish, with personalized touches and a focus on authentic culinary experiences—especially when traveling through Europe.
Fun Facts
I hold a degree in Engineering and spent 12 years in the commercial construction industry before following my passion for travel. Proudly Italian, I’m currently learning the language. I love to cook in my free time.
