Travel is my passion, and if I could spend every hour of the day helping others plan the trip of a lifetime, I absolutely would! Growing up as an American in Europe, I was lucky to tag along with my family as we explored Europe’s hidden gems. Those experiences sparked my love of travel.

After earning a Communications degree from California Polytechnic State University, I ventured into the television and film industry, working in cities like Boston, St. Petersburg, Barcelona, Beijing, and Berlin. Those years expanded my perspective and deepened my appreciation for architecture, food, and cultural experiences. Eventually, I found my way back home and made the leap into the travel industry; where I truly belong.

I am proud to be part of the Santa Barbara Travel Bureau team, a family-owned agency. Some of our team have been crafting unforgettable journeys since 1947, with offices in Montecito and Santa Barbara. Beyond designing incredible itineraries, I value the amazing travel community. I could not do this without the help of wonderful hoteliers, DMCs, fellow advisors, and suppliers. Together, we don’t just plan vacations, we create moments of pure bliss and discovery!
