We travel because we need to, because distance and difference are the secret tonic of creativity. When we get home, home is still the same. But something in our mind has been changed, and that changes everything.
About
Travel is my passion—and luckily for me, I’ve been able to make it my career! My wanderlust was born during a study abroad in Florence, Italy, that led to a 15-year travel PR career. In 2024, I said “ciao” to my corporate life, with my eyes set on the road. My ITMI Tour Directing certification in hand, I started leading student tours in NYC and Washington, D.C. for Green Light Group Tours. Then in spring 2025, I moved to Anchorage, Alaska, for a summer season working with Premier Alaska Tours. I led high-end land tours for Viking Cruises, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Silversea, Celebrity Cruises, and others. This year, I led tours for Bluebird Guided Tours throughout the Southwest and Northeast. I have an insatiable curiosity for new places and am a lifelong learner. I am well-versed in New England, the Southwest, and have a love of nature-driven places, especially National Parks. My background in travel marketing makes me distinctly qualified to understand the ways in which a Tour Director is the “face” of your brand, and a guest’s connection to your values and mission. My greatest joy is unlocking the world for others, ensuring logistics and travel anxieties don’t stand between them and their bucket-list destinations. Let’s live life beyond our comfort zones and go see the world!
