I’ve always been the person who plans the trips. Not because I had to, but because I genuinely love the puzzle of it. The routes, the food, the timing, the tradeoffs. I didn’t grow up traveling much. My family took vacations, but the wider world wasn’t really on my radar until college, when I spent six months studying abroad in Australia. That experience flipped a switch for me. I realized how much I loved exploring new places, understanding how people live, and figuring out which details create real, authentic memories.

My career since then has been rooted in operations and analytics. I like problem solving and making things run better. And I’ve always been the person friends call when they need help planning a trip because I naturally zero in on the logistics and the fun at the same time.

Travel has stayed in the background for years, but recently I’ve hit a point in life where I want to build something of my own. I want to take the skills I’ve honed in my career and use them to help people have smoother, more intentional travel experiences.

I’m also a parent with kids at the perfect age to explore the world. That makes me especially aware of how quickly these seasons pass and how important it is to make the most of them. Travel has become a way for our family to slow down, reset, and enjoy each other without the noise of real life. That perspective shapes how I help other families plan, too. It isn’t just about where you go. It’s about creating moments your future self will be grateful you didn’t skip.

I’m your transparent travel advisor. If you want a trip that’s thoughtful, practical, and genuinely fits the way you like to travel, I’d love to help you build it.
