Travel has been my passion for as long as I can remember — and at some point, I realized that passion could become my purpose. I spent the first half of my career in tech building digital experiences, but I kept coming back to a simple truth: the most extraordinary moments in life aren't found on a screen. They're found standing in front of a view that takes your breath away, sharing a meal with a local, or stumbling across a neighborhood that no search bar would ever lead you to.
I founded Yale Travel with the partnership and support of my mother in law, Nancy, whose thirty-plus years in luxury travel shape everything we do. We believe your vacation should feel as extraordinary as the destination itself — seamless, stress-free, and genuinely unforgettable, whether it's a tropical escape, a cultural immersion, or something in between.
My personal favorite escape? Costa Rica — and I'd love to tell you why.
Having travelled personally with my husband and family of three children for the past 30 years to many countries around the world, I am able to create unique travel experiences with dedicated customer service and expert insights. Throughout my career as a travel advisor, I have sailed most cruise lines from luxury ships to river cruises. Cruise Line's International Association (CLIA) appointed me the first Master Cruise Counselor in the state of Connecticut and I served for 8 years on the Virtuoso Cruise Committee.
Travel & Leisure Magazine named me as an "A-List Top Travel Expert" and I have earned prestigious Virtuoso top travel advisor awards. Attending invitation-only travel conferences from Morocco to France has enabled me to establish first-hand relationships with hoteliers and suppliers worldwide, allowing me to provide special amenities to my clients.
I'm showing the ropes to the next generation, my daughter-in-law Amy, as we partner to expand our family business together.
My personal favorite trip to plan? An African safari - there is truly nothing like it.
