About me

I’m an adventure-led storyteller and wellness practitioner bridging place-based travel, spiritual growth, and cultural psychology. As a Level 7 Google Local Guide, I’ve documented hundreds of New York City experiences—now expanding my wanderings globally: from the Middle East to my upcoming spiritual expedition to Tibet. With an M.A. in Clinical Psychology & Education from Columbia Teachers College, I weave personal transformation, cultural immersion, and wellness into every journey. My voice supports entrepreneurs, parents, and seekers in exploring place not just as a backdrop—but as a catalyst for healing and discovery.

Why did you join the community?

This felt like my kind of people—storytellers who travel with intention. I’m a wellness wayfinder, Google Local Guide, and civil servant who uses storytelling to connect culture, place, and purpose. Travel helps me design a more meaningful life. I’m here to meet folks who move with heart and tell rich stories along the way.

What is your favorite travel destination?

Dubai back in 2015. It felt fresh, inspiring, and futuristic in a way that still honored tradition. The city was electric, and I loved the mix of art, architecture, and elegance. I know it gets a lot of buzz now, but when I went, it was magic.

Where do you dream of traveling to?

Egypt and Machu Picchu. I’ve always been drawn to ancient civilizations—places where the land still holds memory. I want to walk sacred spaces, feel their stories, and honor cultures that speak through artifacts more than words.

What was your first travel job?

I was a Data Collection Engineer for AT&T, traveling 24/7 to connect remotely to cell towers across the U.S. I stayed in a new hotel every few days, soaking up the energy of each place. That rhythm led me to storytelling and eventually to becoming a Google Local Guide.

What do you want to learn more about?

I’m curious about how travel can be healing—especially for women and caregivers. I want to explore how emotional wellness, storytelling, and cultural immersion can support burnout recovery. As a mom, I also explore how travel and world schooling can shape global citizenship in kids.
