Before Becoming an Advisor …

Before joining Ciao Bambino, I worked as a graphic designer creating branding for small businesses and licensing my work to stationery companies. You may even have received a holiday card that I designed!

My Favorite Travel Experiences

My favorite travel destinations are any that are new to me! I adore going to places I haven’t been before and discovering what makes them unique and special. A few years ago, my husband and I spent 365 days traveling around the world visiting mostly new-to-us spots. Some of the highlights from my travels include floating over Tuscany in a hot air balloon, sleeping in an onsen in Tokyo, swimming with sharks off an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora, hiking the wild section of the Great Wall of China, and getting up close and personal with tons of animals during a safari in Botswana.

Why I Love My Job

The power of travel constantly amazes me. It can create forever bonds, provide insights you can’t get at home and open up the world in unexpected ways. I love helping people create a trip that they’ll remember and talk about for years to come, whether that’s because of the cultural experiences, the incredible adventures, the people they met or the beauty of a place.
