Tell us a little about yourself.
Originally from Orlando, Florida—the theme park capital of the world—I’ve spent the past 11 years immersed in the travel industry. I’m a big theme park enthusiast and a rollercoaster aficionado, always on the lookout for the next thrilling ride!
What was your most memorable vacation?
While I’ve traveled extensively across the U.S., my most unforgettable trip was to Brooklyn for a massive music festival. I went with one of my best friends, and we stayed in a cozy Airbnb in a classic Brooklyn brownstone. The festival was incredible, and I had the chance to meet a few celebrities, including Spike Lee, Sway Calloway, and Ava DuVernay. I also attended an amazing rooftop party and had a blast! On Day 2, I ventured to Queens to pick up fabric for a turban, which was beautifully wrapped by a group of awesome guys I met, who even took me to a Sikh temple for the experience. It was a whirlwind of new connections, unforgettable moments, and, yes, a bit of credit card maxing—but it’s a trip I’ll never forget!
What do you like to do outside of work or travel?
I’m all about the arts! Music is a huge passion of mine, and I’ve had the pleasure of seeing some of my favorite artists live—Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Foo Fighters, Erykah Badu, and Nas, just to name a few. I’m also an avid photographer and recently got back into film after a break during COVID. As a musician, I play the trumpet and am working on learning guitar and bass. On top of that, I’m diving into sewing and have taken a few jewelry design courses. When I’m not exploring new creative outlets, I love to travel, check out museums, art exhibits and, of course, enjoy some gaming on my PS5 or PC.
Do you have a favorite place to visit?
I don’t really have one favorite—I love the thrill of picking a destination and going! That said, Vancouver and Monaco are high on my list. They both look like very picturesque, stunning and serene places to explore, and I can’t wait to check them both out.
Thanks for taking the time to learn a bit about me! I look forward to speaking with you!
