About me

I have been a part of the Travel Massive community since 2010 when I co-founded and ran the San Francisco chapter for three years. I also co-organized the NYC chapter from 2014-2017 and the Portland chapter in 2018-2020. A digital nomad at heart, but now own and run a property in Sandy, OR that hosts campers and digital nomads on the outskirts of the Mount Hood National Forest. I have a background in marketing and community development with 15 years of experience within the travel and hospitality industry. I currently manage the membership program for Arival, the global resource for the in-destination experiences industry, providing insights and events for tour operators, activities, and attractions. I have a passion for sustainable travel, health + wellness, and community events. I'm constantly working on ways to connect all of these things.

Why did you join the community?

I've been a part of this wonderful community since its inception in 2010 when I cofounded the San Francisco chapter, one of the very first in the US. I joined because I was just starting my career in the travel industry having just returned from a year abroad after completing my education. It led to a lot of professional connections and opportunities and still does. Love Travel Massive!
