A travel advisor based in Seattle, a mom of two, and the person friends and family have always come to when they're trying to figure out where to go next.
I plan family travel of every kind, with specialized expertise in sensory-friendly trips for families with neurodivergent kids.
My love of travel and hospitality started early. I minored in hospitality in college and spent years working in hotels and customer service, learning what it actually takes to make someone feel welcomed, looked after, and at ease in an unfamiliar place. Those years shaped how I think about every trip I plan: the details matter, the small kindnesses matter, and the difference between a good vacation and a great one is almost always in the preparation.
I went on to spend years in advertising technology, which sounds unrelated but turned out to be a perfect complement. Ad tech is, at its core, about understanding people, what they need, what they respond to, and how to deliver something tailored to them. Pair that with a hospitality mindset, and you get the kind of planning I do now: thoughtful, personal, and built around the family in front of me.
For years, I planned trips the way most parents do, focused on logistics, fun, and making sure everyone came home happy. That changed when my son was diagnosed with autism at two. Suddenly I was thinking about things I'd never considered before: noise levels in hotel hallways, what airport security looks like through his eyes, how to build a day that includes both adventure and the downtime he needs to feel regulated. I dove into learning everything I could, and what I discovered is that planning travel for an autistic child takes specialized knowledge that most travel advisors simply don't have.
So I built that knowledge into my practice. Today, most of my clients are planning regular family vacations: beach trips, theme parks, multi-generational getaways, milestone celebrations. Some are planning sensory-friendly trips that take a little extra care. Either way, my work is the same: I listen, I ask questions other advisors don't think to ask, and I design something that fits.
I partner with Fora Travel, which gives me access to the world's leading hotels and suppliers, complimentary perks for my clients, and a network of advisors I learn from every day.
When I'm not planning trips for clients, I'm usually planning ours.
