I’m a native Texan and proud TCU Horned Frog. After graduating, I built my career in customer service and hospitality. I married a German, who also happened to be a fellow Frog, and we spent our 1st few years together living in Germany’s beautiful Black Forest before moving back to Dallas. We have three children, with two currently living in Munich and Portugal.
For the past 17 years, I have worked at YPO, where I’ve had the opportunity to create and lead several “Only in YPO” trips for members and spouses. Designing unique travel experiences has always been a passion of mine, and it has naturally led me to become a travel advisor. I enjoy helping people discover extraordinary destinations and create memorable experiences.
I am also the US Ambassador for my husband’s family’s resort hotel, Hotel Bareiss in the Black Forest (Relais & Chateaux property & houses the 3-star Michelin restaurant, Restaurant Bareiss).
For the past 17 years, my greatest professional joy has been leading group trips — the pre-planning, the trip itself, and the reunions afterward, along with the genuine friendships that form along the way. My groups have ranged from 40 to 80 travelers, and together we’ve explored Cuba, Costa Rica, Sedona, Panama, Oktoberfest (six years running), Cabo/Costa Palmas, Sundance Film Festival, the Bahamas, New Orleans, Detroit, Paris, and Nashville.
