Through the years, from trips with my family while I was growing up, to the time I graduated from Binghamton University, to building my Finance career at a consulting firm, to transitioning to starting my own family, I have always loved to travel.  The experience of being able to detach and recharge is almost indescribable. For me, it is not just the thrill of seeing new places and the experience of being away, but also the enjoyment and anticipation I get that comes along with planning the next adventure. 

Over the years, I have been fortunate to experience various  Caribbean vacations with the entire family, adventurous and luxurious European country hopping  with my husband and premium travel throughout the United States. So given my passion for 5-star hotels and resorts, combined with an attention to detail, and a deep understanding of value, this has all led me to pivot to a career in travel. Now, luxury travel is my business, my pleasure, and I hope to help others find the same excitement I still get when planning a new experience.

In addition, to my travel planning knowledge, I also have a unique understanding that when food allergies are introduced into the mix (whether adult or child), the prospect of traveling abroad is more challenging and even a little scary.  Having lived in that world for the past 13 years, I will apply what I have learned through my personal experience to make sure you and your family are prepared so you can enjoy your vacation to the fullest!

I live in Rye Brook, New York with my husband, our two children and our adorable dog Bowie. When I am not traveling, I enjoy Pilates, long walks with Bowie, and researching and dining at the new “it” restaurants. My favorite type of vacation? Luxury beach resorts!
