passionate adventurer, dancer, reader, maker, dreamer, solopreneur, part-time bartender, hobby chef and lover
of words!

Lived and worked for over eleven years in Europe (more than seven in Vienna), dedicated twenty-four years to teaching and advising within the American university system, created and led the month-long VCU Vienna summer study abroad program (2007 through 2022) and co-founded and lead vienn.a.rt photo tours for creative adults (2018).

My passion and love for Europe - and for global exploration in general - are key in how I approach travel program creation and development.
I want to include inquisitive, adventurous adults in the wonder and joy of getting to know the unknown, inspire them to wholeheartedly engage, and encourage them to linger longer in the process!
