Meet Your Travel Advisor

The Heart Behind Veritas Journeys

My career has given me the opportunity to experience the travel industry from many perspectives and to build relationships with trusted partners. Today, I specialize in luxury ocean and river cruising, expedition travel, and thoughtfully designed European journeys.

Experience brings more than destination knowledge. It brings perspective—the ability to recognize what matters, anticipate potential challenges, ask the right questions, and understand the small details that can make an extraordinary difference in a journey.

My approach has always been simple: listen first, then design. I want to understand not only where you want to go, but how you want to feel while you are there. The journey should reflect you, not a formula.

Decades of Expertise. A Lifetime of Passion.

A Calling, Not Just a Career

I was drawn to travel because I saw early on how meaningful it could be to help someone turn an idea into an experience they would remember for the rest of their life. What began as a profession quickly became something much more personal.

I have been fortunate to achieve meaningful milestones throughout my career, but I have never measured success solely by sales. I measure it in the clients who call me when the next important journey comes along, the families I have worked with across generations, and the confidence they place in me when the details truly matter.

Through industry changes, market shifts, and countless journeys, one thing has remained constant: I genuinely care about the outcome of every trip I design.

That trust is the most valuable thing I hold.

How I Approach Every Journey

Listen first. Design second.

Great travel planning begins with listening. Before I recommend a destination, hotel, ship, or experience, I want to understand you—what matters to you, how you like to travel, and what you hope to take away from the journey.

Trust is not given. It is earned, trip by trip.

Many of my clients have been traveling with me for ten, fifteen, even twenty years. That is not loyalty to a booking service. That is what happens when an advisor consistently delivers on what was promised and advocates fiercely for you when something goes wrong. I work for you, not for the supplier.

Every detail is intentional.

The difference between a good trip and an extraordinary one often comes down to details that are invisible when they work and unforgettable when they do not. I manage those details because they matter, and because the clients I work with deserve to be fully present in the experience, not managing logistics.

Why Veritas?

Veritas, the Latin word for truth, and immediately, it felt right.

I wanted something meaningful. Something that reflected not just what I do, but how I have always chosen to serve my clients.

Throughout my career, I have often thought of myself as the truth teller.

Not because the truth is always the easy conversation, but because it is the most important one.

When clients begin sharing their travel dreams, my role is not simply to say yes to every idea. My responsibility is to help them understand what is realistic, what aligns with their expectations, what their investment may look like, how supplier terms work, what airline policies can and cannot do, why travel protection matters, and all the details that are not always glamorous, but absolutely matter.

I believe one of the reasons clients have returned to me over the years is because they know I will be honest with them. Clear. Thoughtful. Transparent. I will celebrate the exciting possibilities, but I will also help them navigate the realities, so they can make informed decisions and travel with confidence.

Because beautiful travel is not just about inspiration. It is about trust.
