About Me
I joined Down Under Endeavours in 2012, bringing with me a background in technology, entrepreneurship, and wellness. With an MBA in Marketing and experience owning my own fitness centers, my career path hasn’t been traditional—and that’s exactly what shapes how I design travel. I’m practical, detail-oriented, and always thinking about how an experience will feel, not just how it looks on paper.  I am a certified personal trainer, fitness instructor, and diver, so some of my suggestions might feel a little thrill-seeking to push you outside your comfort zone!

How I Design Travel
When planning travel to Africa, pacing and balance are everything—especially with early morning game drives and long, wildlife-filled days. I design safaris that allow time to truly settle into each camp, absorb the rhythm of the bush, and move thoughtfully between regions without feeling rushed or exhausted. From selecting the right camps in the right locations to coordinating seamless flight connections and smart routing, I consider your comfort, energy, and overall flow long before you ever touch down.

Countries I Know Best
South Africa • Namibia • Botswana • Kenya • Tanzania • Uganda • Rwanda • Zimbabwe • Zambia • Seychelles • Mauritius • Maldives
These are places I know intimately, as I have been there and love sharing with my clients.

My Travel Philosophy
An African journey should leave you feeling inspired and energized, not worn out from too many early mornings or constant movement. The magic happens in the balance—thrilling game drives paired with time to rest, reflect, and fully experience your surroundings. I rely on firsthand experience to design safaris with confidence, care, and thoughtful intention.

Beyond Travel
When I’m not planning trips or traveling, I am enjoying the amazing weather in Phoenix, where I live with my husband, Olivier, and my super cute Corgi, Ruby Caroline.  I am a certified art, history, and Broadway NERD, so lots of live concerts and events here in the Valley.  We love trying new cocktail bars and authentic local restaurants with ethnic cuisine.  I have a goal of 100 countries, 7 continents and all 5o states!
