THE NARRATIVE
Where travel is not a coincidence, but a curation of the perfect experience.
From the Science Classroom to the World
For 25 years, my professional life was defined by a passion for discovery. I spent my career teaching science—specializing in chemistry—where I showed my students how to look beneath the surface of the world to find the beauty in the "why." While I have moved beyond the classroom, I haven’t retired that research-driven mindset. I’ve simply traded the lab for the world.
A History of Curation
Travel has always been the heartbeat of my life. For decades, I was the "designated curator" for my family and friends, specializing in complex, multi-generational journeys that required a high level of logistical precision.
Whether it was coordinating a multi-stop Baltic expedition, a deep-dive Mediterranean cruise, or a curated "bucket list" adventure on the Big Island of Hawaii for three generations of our family, I have always believed that the best travel is engineered, not just booked. I understand the weight of these moments—how a single, well-timed detail can transform a trip into a lifelong memory.
The Science of Discovery
My research-driven mindset follows me into every vineyard and kitchen I visit. Through my work with Small Bites With Wine, I study the balance of regional flavors—researching how the acidity of a local vintage interacts with the chemistry of a regional small bite. This pursuit of the "perfect pairing" allows me to offer my clients a level of culinary vetting that goes far beyond a standard recommendation.
