My passion for travel began during my junior year of college when I studied abroad. That experience taught me an important lesson: I hadn’t planned enough to truly take advantage of being overseas. It made me realize that many first-time travelers face the same challenge and I wanted to change that.
As a minority, I’ve often been the first in my family to experience new opportunities, including traveling. That perspective drives my mission: to make travel accessible, exciting, and stress-free for those stepping into it for the very first time.
I graduated in May 2025 from the Isenberg School of Management at UMass Amherst, and since then, I’ve been dedicated to guiding new travelers through every step of their journey.
So far, I’ve explored Italy, Switzerland, Japan, and Puerto Rico, and each destination has deepened my love for discovering new cultures and creating unforgettable experiences.
Why do I love the travel industry? Because travel opens doors it gives people the chance to see the world in ways they’ve never imagined, connect with people from different backgrounds, and taste flavors they’ve never tried before.
My goal is simple: to make sure your first trip is stress-free, well-planned, and full of amazing memories.
