Originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Emily brings more than a decade of luxury hospitality experience to her work as a travel advisor. A graduate of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth- where she discovered a lifelong love of Tex‑Mex food -Emily’s passion for travel ignited while studying abroad in Seville and exploring Europe. She then built a strong foundation in sales for elite hotel brands, including Rosewood, Oetker Collection, and Marriott’s Luxury Collection.
Over the past 15 years, Emily has lived in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and New York and traveled whenever possible. Those years in luxury hotels gave her practical knowledge of how top properties operate, a robust network of insider contacts, and an expert eye for the best times to book, which room types to request, and how to maximize every stay.
After a life-changing honeymoon in Botswana and South Africa, Emily transitioned to the “other side” of travel and became a full-time travel advisor in early 2026. She does this to share transformative journeys and to cut through the noise of the internet and social media to craft truly special, seamless trips.
Today Emily plans personalized luxury travel – from African safaris to Caribbean escapes, European getaways, and everything in between -leveraging her hotel experience and relationships to secure upgrades, provide local insights, and optimize timing. She curates meaningful travel that balances adventure, comfort, and thoughtful detail so clients can relax, connect, and return home with unforgettable memories.
