My Journey
My travel career began at an advertising agency on the Celebrity Cruises account, where my love of traveling the world became a professional passion. I joined Celebrity’s in-house team for seven rewarding years, followed by three with Hurtigruten in my hometown of New York. I later moved into travel media with Seatrade and Questex, supporting publications, advisor education, and industry events. My journey then took me to French luxury cruise line Ponant before returning to Questex during the pandemic. What I enjoy most is bringing destinations to life and connecting travel brands with the advisors and travelers who discover them.
How I Work
I’m a detail-oriented, collaborative marketer who combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution. I use data to guide decisions, find creative solutions within any budget, and adapt quickly when priorities change. I value clear communication, teamwork, and giving credit where it’s due. Mentoring colleagues and helping them grow is one of the most rewarding parts of leadership for me. I do my best work with people who share ideas, support one another, and take pride in achieving results together.
