A Condé Nast Top Travel Specialist- 4 Years in a Row!

I’m incredibly honored to share that I’ve been named a Condé Nast Top Travel Specialist for the fourth year in a row.

This annual list recognizes some of the most trusted and knowledgeable luxury travel advisors in the world—individuals known for their deep destination expertise, meaningful industry relationships, and the ability to create truly exceptional, personalized travel experiences. To be included alongside so many talented peers is something I don’t take lightly.

At the heart of it all, this recognition is really about my clients.

Planning travel isn’t just about logistics—it’s about creating moments that matter. Whether it’s a multi-generational family trip, a milestone celebration, or that long-awaited “bucket list” adventure, I feel incredibly lucky to work with clients who have a true sense of wanderlust and trust me to bring their visions to life.

One of the things I value most in my work is experiencing destinations firsthand.

From walking through hotel suites to meeting local guides and exploring hidden corners of a destination, these experiences allow me to offer thoughtful, insider recommendations that go far beyond what you’ll find online. It’s how I ensure every itinerary feels personal, seamless, and truly special.

Based in Mountain Brook, Alabama, I’ve built my business around a detail-oriented, relationship-driven approach. I want to anticipate needs before they arise, simplify the planning process, and ultimately make travel feel effortless for my clients. With a global network of trusted partners—from luxury hotels and private villa specialists to on-the-ground experts—I’m able to open doors and create experiences that are both elevated and deeply personal.

As travel continues to evolve, my goal remains the same: to design meaningful journeys that feel as unforgettable as the destinations themselves.

To my clients—thank you for trusting me with your most important trips. It means everything.

If you’re dreaming about your next adventure, I’d love to help you plan it.
