Luxury Travel Advisor | Partner, Compelled to Travel

I am a Chicago-based luxury travel advisor with a background in marketing, public relations and brand storytelling. Before becoming a travel advisor, I worked in travel marketing, helping destinations, hotels and travel experiences come to life through thoughtful content and creative strategy. That experience continues to shape the way I design travel today, with an eye for meaningful details, memorable moments and the overall story of each journey.

Today, I am a Luxury Travel Advisor with Embark Beyond, a proud member of Virtuoso, the world’s leading global network specializing in luxury and experiential travel. Through these trusted relationships, I am able to connect my clients with exceptional hotels, experienced destination partners and special amenities that can make their travels feel even more personal.

I work with couples, honeymooners, families, groups of friends and milestone travelers who want a trip that feels exciting, stylish and thoughtfully planned. Many of my clients have a vision for where they want to go but need guidance bringing all the pieces together. I help them navigate the options, refine their ideas and create an experience that reflects their personalities, priorities and travel style.

I am best known for planning romantic getaways and honeymoons, luxury group and girls’ trips, and immersive journeys throughout Europe, the Caribbean, and beyond. Whether I am designing a celebratory weekend with friends, a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, an island escape or a multi-stop European itinerary, my goal is to make the planning process feel easy, collaborative and enjoyable.

My recommendations are shaped by firsthand travel, trusted global relationships and a genuine curiosity about what makes each destination special. I love finding the hotels, restaurants and experiences that bring a trip to life, while making sure every itinerary feels balanced, seamless and personal.

While I am based in Chicago, Illinois, I work with travelers across the United States and beyond, creating elevated journeys designed around the way they truly want to experience the world.
