About Me

Travel has always been about more than simply getting from one place to another for me. It’s about the experiences, places and little details that turn a vacation into a story you’ll still be telling years later.

My background spans luxury hospitality, wine and travel, giving me years of experience creating memorable experiences and working with travelers who value exceptional service and thoughtful attention to detail. I’ve specialized extensively in cruising, from river and ocean voyages to luxury and ultra-luxury sailings around the world, helping guests navigate everything from choosing the right ship and suite to airfare, hotels, pre- and post-cruise stays and those extra touches that make an itinerary truly special.

Some of my own favorite travels have taken me from the streets of Paris to the turquoise waters of the Bahamas, and I’m endlessly fascinated by the different ways there are to experience the world.

What I love most about being a cruise connoisseur is that no two travelers are exactly alike. I enjoy getting to know what matters to each guest and matching them with the cruise line, ship and itinerary that genuinely fits them, rather than simply recommending what’s popular.

Whether it’s a milestone celebration, a once-in-a-lifetime journey or simply a much-needed escape, my goal is to make planning it almost as enjoyable as taking it.

My Favorite Destination

Paris captured my heart at Christmastime. I remember twinkling lights against a snowy backdrop, bustling streets filled with Parisians holiday shopping, and the scent of warm mulled wine drifting through the winter air. There was something effortlessly romantic about it all, and I’ve been completely enamored with Paris ever since.

My Favorite Cruise Ship

The Disney Wish holds a special place for me as the first ship I experienced firsthand. I loved the beautiful design, attention to detail and incredible service, but especially how immersive the experience felt. It showed me how a ship can become just as memorable as the destinations you visit.





My Bucket List

French Polynesia is at the very top of my travel bucket list. I dream of experiencing Bora Bora’s impossibly blue lagoons, lush volcanic landscapes and beautiful Polynesian culture firsthand. The idea of exploring these remote islands by small ship, with the South Pacific just beyond my balcony, sounds absolutely unforgettable.



My Hobbies and Interests

Outside of travel, I’m a lifelong lover of pop culture, film and music (especially live shows), and I enjoy writing whenever inspiration strikes. I’m equally happy getting lost in a great story or heading outdoors for a hike. I’m endlessly curious and always looking for something new to see, hear or experience.






Why I Like Working For Panache Cruises

I love working for Panache Cruises because I get to work with an incredible team of connoisseurs and support staff behind the scenes. It allows me to combine my passion for travel with genuinely personal service. I enjoy taking the time to understand each guest and what makes a trip special to them, while working with some of the world’s most exceptional luxury cruise lines and exotic destinations.
