My Why
Why I plan travel
I’ve had a passion for travel for as long as I can remember. I’ve been fortunate to explore Europe, Aisa, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, the continental United States, and Hawaii—and I’m always looking for opportunities to discover new places. Over the years, family, friends, and travel companions have often asked me to “take care of the arrangements” for their trips. My love of travel and attention to detail earned me the nickname “GPS.” I’m the person they call for the when, where, and how of trip planning. My desire to create the perfect travel experience led me to earn my CTA and luxury travel designation.
Approach
Planning philosophy
I treat every client’s trip as if I were planning my own. My goal is to create a truly special experience—one that gives them the chance to make memories that last a lifetime.
Difference
The Exquisite difference
I listen closely to each client’s wishes and tailor every trip to what matters most to them—personalized insight and care you can’t get from a website. And while they’re traveling, I’m just a call or message away to answer questions and help resolve any issues.
In the moment
A save-the-day story
A client arrived for a Last Supper tour in Milan, but the tour company had mistakenly booked it for the following year. I quickly resolved the situation by arranging a complimentary tasting dinner for all four clients at their hotel in Tuscany.
Insider tip
What I tell every traveler
In Paris, I always recommend a museum pass to help skip the long lines, and at the Vatican, a private guide is well worth it—the lines can take hours.
