About
My Story
From Leadership Strategy to Travel Design
For more than two decades, my career was built around helping organizations create meaningful experiences for people.
As a global executive in talent, leadership, and culture, I partnered with leaders to understand what mattered most, design thoughtful solutions, and bring complex plans to life with care and attention to detail.
Over time, I realized those same principles are what make exceptional travel experiences.
The best vacations aren't created by simply booking flights and hotels. They're created by listening well, anticipating needs, and designing experiences that feel effortless for the traveler.
That's what inspired me to create Lumina Journeys.
Today, I bring the same thoughtful planning, strategic approach, and personalized service to every journey I design.
Travel Should Feel Personal.
Anyone can book a trip.
What makes a journey memorable is having someone who takes the time to understand what you're hoping to experience—and then thoughtfully brings it to life.
Whether you're celebrating a milestone, planning a multigenerational family vacation, embarking on a dream cruise, or exploring somewhere completely new, my role is to make the planning process feel effortless and enjoyable.
I believe every traveler deserves recommendations that are personal, trusted, and designed around them—not simply the most popular itinerary.
My Travel Philosophy
Every recommendation has a purpose.
Travel isn't about checking boxes.
It's about creating memories.
Working with respected travel partners allows me to deliver confidence, value, and exceptional experiences.
No two travelers are alike.
Your journey shouldn't be either.
