I am a travel journalist by passion and an editor by trade. Both worlds allow me to express my love for wanderlust, erasable pens, and the Oxford comma.
I enjoy writing about unique destinations in the United States and abroad. My favorite experiences involve meeting new people and learning about different cultures.
In my spare time, I binge watch cooking shows on Netflix, go horseback riding, or cuddle with my feline assistant, Sputnik.
I am a proud member of the International Food, Wine, and Travel Writers Association (IFWTWA), San Diego Press Club, and American Copy Editors Society (ACES).
