About
Highly organized and client-focused creative production professional with 17+ years of experience planning and coordinating complex projects, managing logistics, budgets, schedules, vendors, and multiple moving parts from concept through completion. After years of turning complex production plans into successful real-world experiences, I am excited to bring those same planning, coordination, problem-solving, and client-service skills to a career centered around my passion for travel. An experienced independent traveler, I have personally researched and planned travel throughout Peru, Mexico, Ireland, France, Spain, Croatia, England, Morocco, and 40 U.S. states, developing a genuine appreciation for destination research, itinerary planning, logistics, local experiences, and creating well-organized trips.
I am eager to combine my professional production expertise with my passion for travel to help clients plan memorable, seamless, and thoughtfully personalized vacations.
