Before Joining Ciao Bambino …

Before working for Ciao Bambino, I worked for close to a decade in Film & TV. I’ve done almost every job on set but I spent most of my career in the costume department. I have been transitioning out of that industry and have been working as a birth doula for the past few years. I’ve absolutely loved supporting people as they grow their families and I’m super excited to be supporting families through travel planning!

My Favorite Travel Experience

My favorite trip I’ve ever taken was when my best friend got married in Malaysia. A big group of my college friends took the trip together and followed up the wedding with Bali and Vietnam. It was truly the trip of a lifetime. What made this trip so special was that we were getting to experience the little known areas that only a local would know since my friend is from Malaysia and had all the inside knowledge. Having that guide to lead you through a new experience really takes a trip to the next level.

Why I Love My Job

I absolutely love getting the opportunity to be that guide to families that my friend was to me when I was in Malaysia. Assisting in creating unforgettable trips that make lifelong memories makes my job extremely rewarding. There’s also the fun bonus of getting the inside scoop on places and adding to my own personal bucket list of where I want to go next!
