Originally from Carmel-by-the-Sea and Honolulu, an early appreciation for beautiful destinations naturally evolved into a lifelong passion for hotels and hospitality.

Educated at Les Roches in Switzerland and Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration, I’ve built a diverse career spanning hotel operations, revenue management, and strategic partnerships. My experience includes roles at The Kahala Hotel & Resort in Hawaii, Gleneagles in Scotland, and global travel platforms such as HotelTonight and Airbnb.

I served as a consultant at Navan (formerly TripActions), where I supported enterprise clients in developing smarter travel programs and negotiating hotel partnerships that aligned with their goals.

The passion began early—I collected room keys as a child, treating each one as a souvenir. Today, I’m based in San Francisco with my pug, Lil’ Buddy, who more closely resembles a loaf of bread than a dog.

Among the many incredible properties I’ve encountered, the Four Seasons Hualalai and One&Only Palmilla hold special significance, tied to treasured trips with my mother, who passed away in 2020.
