Originally from Las Vegas, NV, you could say I, quite literally, grew up in the hospitality industry. Having worked in fine dining at numerous four-diamond hotels as a young adult, I later made the move to Los Angeles, where I had the immense fortune of working on a number of Emmy award-winning television productions that similarly all required really good taste (in food and music). Over the last ten years, while working with a tech giant, I’ve been granted countless opportunities to travel, discover and work with many of the beautiful cultures that contribute to the beautiful world we live in. These days, I love kicking my feet up in a premium cabin (coach is great too, but I like the extra space and doting!) while looking forward to the adventure ahead. I love a hotel that greets me with an open door and a smile, but I tend to most heavily judge a hotel by the coffee they make in the mornings and the martinis they make at night. I am big into wellness and all ranges of travel, though I have more experience with luxury and boutique hotels.
