Travel has always been less of a hobby and more of a language for me. One I've been fluent in long before it became my profession. After two decades in tech procurement, where I lived and breathed logistics, negotiation, and the art of making complex things run seamlessly, I traded spreadsheets for itineraries and never looked back. Now, as the founder of Sophistiqué Travel, I design elevated, experience-driven trips for families and couples who want their time away to feel intentional, effortless, and worth every moment.

My approach is shaped by how I travel personally — prioritizing space, atmosphere, and experiences that actually stay with you over novelty or checklists. I've ridden a zodiac up and down the Na Pali Coast with my family, chased sunsets in Cabo with my husband, and learned firsthand that the difference between a good trip and an extraordinary one almost always comes down to the details someone else thought to handle before you arrived. That's the work I do quietly in the background, so you can show up fully present.

I'm an independent affiliate of Fora Travel, a Virtuoso agency, which means my clients have access to preferred partner perks, upgrades, and amenities at the world's best properties. But beyond the access, what I bring is a genuinely obsessive love for this craft and a deeply personal investment in getting your trip right. If you want someone who treats your travel like it matters, you're in the right place.
