Marketing Director
Expertise
I’m a big believer in making the most of every situation and the people I work with. I love problem-solving, bringing ideas and concepts to life, and finding the real, human stories behind brands–-giving them meaning. For me, thinking outside the box and challenging the norm is a must.
Passion
Nature and wildlife, especially the ocean—I love the feeling of being on it, in it or simply near it. I find it always gives me a great sense of perspective. Reminds me of the power and versatility of nature and demands respect.
Habitat
Outdoors in the fresh air with good friends and family. Always with my dog.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
— Mark Twain
Questions & Answers
My most transformative travel experience
I’ve sailed my entire life, but one adventure really sticks out. I sailed from the UK to Panama, crossing the Atlantic to the Azores and Caribbean islands studying plastic pollution, but what made it unforgettable was the people I shared it with—they're now some of my closest friends. Whether it was mind-blowing, completely reckless, borderline terrifying, or just plain ridiculous, I’ll cherish these memories and they’re the stories I’ll be telling for years to come!
My exploration inspiration
I love an underdog—someone who flies under the radar, only to surprise you with incredible stories of their life and experiences. I’ve met so many unique characters like this—none of them famous, but each unforgettable in their own way. What they all have in common is an open spirit and a deep willingness to embrace whatever the world throws their way. I like that.
My dream adventure
I’d love to sail around the world. But take my time, stopping long enough to really soak up each place, meet the locals, eat local food and understand the culture.
