Meridia Travel

Travel has shaped nearly every chapter of my career.

After earning a degree in aviation, I began my career as an aviation industry analyst before spending several years sailing the world with Celebrity Cruises as an Activities Manager and Cruise Director. It was there that I fell in love with travel and discovered how meaningful it can be to bring people together through shared experiences. Those years on a ship taught me that unforgettable journeys don't happen by accident, they're created through thoughtful planning, genuine hospitality, and attention to the details that guests remember long after returning home.

My career then took an unexpected turn into television, where I became an Emmy-nominated Casting Director on major unscripted series for FOX, ABC, NBC, Bravo, and Netflix. Producing large-scale productions around the world taught me how to build an experience people will talk about for years, the same instinct I now bring to Meridia.

Meridia Travel is where those threads come together: an analyst's eye for precision, a cruise director's sense of hospitality, and a producer's instinct for what makes a moment unforgettable.

 

Originally from the Midwest, I now call Los Angeles home, where you'll usually find me planning my next adventure, discovering a new neighborhood restaurant, hiking a local trail, or cheering on the Dodgers. 

I look forward to welcoming you aboard a future Meridia journey.
