I am a University of Miami graduate (Go Canes!) with a law degree from The George Washington University Law School, and have lived in the Washington area for 20 years! I adore this city and the communities that make it so special! My love of guiding began with my first job at age 15 as a tour guide at The Las Vegas Natural History Museum. From that moment, I have cultivated a keen love of travel, both on and off the beaten path, storytelling, and history. After a public service career as a Federal labor and employee relations attorney, I opened my company, as a way to share knowledge, build community, amplify community stories, and facilitate lifelong learning. As a licensed tour guide and member of the Guild of Professional Tour Guides in Washington, D.C., I combine my traveler background with my knowledge of Washington, D.C. to create a unique and bespoke experience for you! Whether you want to meander the tried-and-true paths of Washington, or see a unique side of Washington, I have you covered! I am happy to create a customized tour itinerary in Washington, D.C. for you! If you prefer a customized tour, you can contact me directly! Some additional fun facts: Favorite Fancy DC Restaurant: Rose's Luxury Favorite Budget DC Restaurant: Ben's Chili Bowl Live Music Event Spaces, I love: The Anthem and Wolf Trap Favorite Garden: Brookside Gardens in Maryland Favorite Holiday Tour: Catoctin Furnace Halloween Tour near Frederick Maryland and the Octagon House Pints and Poltergeists Tour in October Museums I Love: The American History Museum (love the new Lowrider exhibit!), Ford's Theater, Smithsonian Asian American Art Museum (Hello Peacock Room!), and the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Museum When I'm Not Guiding You Can Find Me: Reading, planning my next trip, hanging with my border collie/corgi rescue and husband, checking out local events, and walking/biking around Rock Creek Park.
