I began my career in travel in San Francisco in 1999, a few months after relocating from New York. My first decade as an advisor was at The Adventure Travel Company, where I booked hundreds of clients on adventure tours on every continent and at every budget. My return to NYC in 2005 ultimately led to a storefront position at an American Express rep agency. I spent three years there on a fast track to booking luxury travel and in 2013 I began working at a small concierge agency in Manhattan that specialised in FIT and multi-generational trips, often with a cultural and/or historical emphasis. I booked clients on honeymoons, at upscale beach resorts and on wellness vacations, all the while managing our corporate travel. I remained there until I was furloughed due to the pandemic in 2020. Two years later I was hired by FROSCH and I am once again enjoying my role as a travel advisor but now as part of the Sapphire Reserve team at Chase Travel. I've visited 29 countries in total, mainly beginning in 1993 with six months in Australia, five weeks in New Zealand and six weeks in India. Since 2019 I've visited London, Dublin, Paris, Porto, Dubrovnik, Reykjavik, Hawaii, Miami Beach, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Milan, Buenos Aires and, most recently, Las Vegas. I like to plan travel around museums and art galleries. (Silhouette photo taken at sunset at Grand Wailea Resort in Maui.)
