Travel has shaped my life in countless ways. My first taste of it came during graduate school, studying business practices in China, and that experience shifted how I saw the world.

After building a career in business, I learned to maximize value, manage competing priorities, and think several steps ahead, the same instincts I bring to planning your trip. It's also what lets me relate to clients who are just as busy and just as detail-driven as I am.

Hawaii holds a particularly special place in my heart. My husband and I honeymooned there over 20 years ago, and the islands have been part of our story ever since. These days, as a family of four, we still chase new horizons together, and Hawaii is always the one we come back to.

Through Salt + Serenity Travel, I specialize in the destinations I know best: Hawaii, the South Pacific, and upscale beach destinations worldwide, with a growing focus on wellness escapes. I'm a certified Hawaii Destination Expert and Tahiti specialist, and I bring that depth to every itinerary I build.

I believe your time away should feel effortless, restorative, and unforgettable. So I listen closely, handle the details, and design a journey that reflects exactly how you want to feel, whether that's a serene escape in Hawaii, an adventure through the South Pacific, or time by the water somewhere new. All you need to do is show up.

Here's to your next horizon. I'd love to help you get there.
