I grew up in a small town in Texas without much exposure to travel, but I knew from a young age I wanted to see the world. So, I set off with a backpack and traveled through 9 countries in Europe when I was 20 years old (it was the first time I had left the country), and without question, that experience changed my life. After that time abroad, I knew travel would always be an integral part of my life. I made the move to New York City when I was in my late 20’s, and I found my way into the travel industry on the media side. I was traveling about 250-280 days a year and worked with brands like Mini Cooper, Wyndham Resorts and AFAR.

After meeting my husband (who’s a commercial airline pilot) in NYC, we moved to Park City, UT, where I’ve lived for the past 8+ years. We have 2 small children, and as a family we’ve moved to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Oahu, and we spent a month traveling through France and Italy. I believe to my core that some of life’s richest memories are made through the experiences we have traveling, and I am thrilled to help you create those moments that will forever be woven into the tapestry of your life.

Favorite Destination and Why: I spent 2 months traveling through India, and it is the destination that has had the most profound impact on me. That trip changed me to the core, and it was the most challenging and beautiful experience. I love the time I have spent in Brazil - I admire the soul and the free-spiritedness of the people, and it's hard to beat a Cachaça cocktail at sunset along the Malecon.

Areas of Specialty: Wellness Travel, Adventure Travel, Family Travel

My Travel Style Is:
I am a last minute packer- I usually pack the night before or the morning-of my flight. I like to have a general plan, but with plenty of room to leave space for the unexpected to pop up, which for me is always what makes a trip the most memorable. I love adventure travel- I hiked the Salkantay Trail to Macchu Pichu, and it was one of my favorite travel memories.

Fun Facts About Me: 

I won a National contest with Travelocity and traveled the globe with a film crew and the Roaming Gnome.

I backpacked the coast of Australia solo and got scuba certified in Byron Bay - my "prize" from winning a limbo contest.

I was a 3 time All American cheerleader and can still do a killer handstand, especially after a few cocktails.
