Profile

With over 13 years as a Superhost and Professional Co-Host on Airbnb, and the owner of several vacation homes, I’ve honed my skills in delivering exceptional guest experiences and efficient property management. Hosting thousands of guests and managing multiple properties has given me a deep understanding of what it takes to create memorable stays.

Before venturing into the vacation rental industry, I spent 20 years in wedding photography, capturing moments for clients ranging from celebrities to destination weddings around the globe. As a featured speaker and workshop host, I was able to see the world, that sparked my passion for interior design and travel. This passion became especially important to me as a mother of five, as vacation rentals provided our family with the perfect opportunity to explore and create lasting memories together.

When I’m not focused on property management, you can find me exploring real estate trends, enjoying HGTV, or soaking up the outdoors on a beach. I also cherish family movie nights, love to cook, and can’t resist anything pumpkin, especially when paired with my favorite Dutch Bros beverage!
