About Us

A fireplace with two chairs in front of it.As the founder of Shore Travel Group, I am passionate about sharing my love for exploring the world and am dedicated to making every trip I plan for my clients memorable and meaningful. 

I enjoy getting to know my clients and understanding their unique travel styles and preferences. By learning what inspires and excites them, I’m able to craft personalized itineraries that go beyond expectations and turn their travel dreams into reality.

Before becoming a travel advisor, I spent over 16 years in marketing and public relations. My experience of developing and executing strategic initiatives to promote the company’s brand, coupled with coordinating media interviews under tight deadlines, has sharpened my attention to detail and refined my research skills. These experiences have equipped me to deliver exceptional service and tailor solutions that best serve my clients today.

My desire to travel was apparent from an early age. Every month I eagerly awaited my family’s monthly issue of Travel & Leisure magazine. It was my personal window into the world, a place to dream and provided inspiration for many of my travels. To discover more about destinations, I would write letters to the tourism boards and tour operators listed, requesting brochures—something I did quite frequently. As a result, my family ended up on every mailing list imaginable (sorry, Mom and Dad!).

My first real travel stamp came in college when I embarked on a three-week safari to Kenya & Tanzania. I was mesmerized by the sights, sounds, and smells of Africa. Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro was the cherry on top. I then studied abroad during college in Madrid, Spain and traveled all over Europe, setting the foundation for my love of travel.

These days, when I’m not planning travel adventures, I spend most of my time chauffeuring our kids around from one activity to the next.  Lots of local travel J.

I hold a Master's degree in Public Relations and Corporate Communication from New York University and a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Colorado at Boulder.
