Hi, I'm kiki!
I consider myself an adventurer at heart. Growing up, I lived in Chicago, Frankfurt, and Tokyo before moving to California for college. Travel sparked a love for exploring new destinations that has stayed with me through every phase of my life. After a career in telecommunications and real estate, I followed that passion and became a luxury travel advisor with Brownell.
I believe planning an exceptional travel experience goes far beyond a simple hotel booking. From the very beginning, I work closely with my clients to understand and bring their vision to life. I draw on my personal experience and a global network of trusted travel partners to help clients see what’s possible. My goal is to surprise and delight throughout each journey, with thoughtful touches and exclusive amenities that turn trips into lasting memories.

I strongly believe that the places you travel become a part of you, shaping your emotions, perspectives, and memories in ways that last forever. I was born in Chicago, spent eight years growing up in Arkansas, went to high school in Dallas, attended college in Florida, and now live in Newport Beach, California. Each place has left its mark on me, shaping who I am today and showing me firsthand how deeply destinations can influence us.
I grew up watching my mom build her business in the travel industry, in a family that valued adventure and a sense of worldliness. My curiosity about people and cultures deepened while studying abroad on Semester at Sea, where I explored 14 countries and discovered the importance of authentic connection and thoughtful planning.
My background is rooted in creativity, collaboration, and service. I’ve worked in marketing, retail, personalized gifting, and community involvement, all of which reflect my love for meaningful details and personal touches. For me, planning travel isn’t about checking off destinations, it’s about helping people create experiences that feel personal, special, and truly unforgettable.
