My journey in travel has been shaped by a deep passion for discover. From long family road trips as a child to exploring Europe and the Caribbean with my own family, I’m thankful that travel has been part of each stage of my life. 

My desire for exploration led me to start Beltway Bambinos, a blog helping DC families find enriching local experiences, which I ran for over eleven years while raising my own children. 

That same dedication to crafting meaningful experiences now drives my work as a travel advisor for Mango Tree Travel, where I help families plan transformative adventures across the globe. From weekend getaways to epic family adventures, I love creating trips that bring people together. Picture grandparents sharing stories over sunset dinners, kids experiencing their first snorkel adventure, and teens actually admitting they’re having fun (it happens!). 

Whether you’re planning that big family reunion, seeking quality time with just your crew, or need a local escape that feels like a vacation – I’ll help create those special moments that turn into memories you’ll cherish forever.

Aside from my work as a travel advisor, I live in Washington, DC, where I enjoy trying new restaurants, attending shows at The National Theatre, playing pickleball with friends, and spending time with my husband, two children, and our golden retriever, Birdie.
