I began my career in the travel industry as a university student, selling student travel - wholly unaware that it would become my life's passion. Upon entering the luxury travel sphere, I became particularly passionate about immersive cultural travel, driven by the psychology of the concept that the definition of "luxury" is different for all travelers. I am driven by travel that uncovers culture and gastronomy.

I love our industry, and the people within it - truly, the best travel experiences are created when passionate advisors join forces with passionate suppliers, delivered to passionate travelers.

My most favorite place on earth is Salzburg; however anytime you can find me wandering through a palace or villa hotel in Italy or India, I'll also be quite content.
