I've always had a love for history and good food. Coming from a small, rural town, I had few opportunities to travel.  When I became a teacher, I met students from all over the world. I encouraged families to visit my classroom to share a little about their home countries. Soon, I found myself daydreaming about these amazing places. Then, one day, I took a leap. My stepson, a serious foodie, wanted to travel to France for his 16th birthday. It made me reflect upon my life, and what I missed out as a child, and I didn’t want that for him. So we booked it. Who doesn’t want to go to France, drinking amazing wine,  grazing on cheese and macroons all day while walking around The Louve? My heart sang as soon as my feet hit the gourd in France. This trip ignited something inside of me, and I knew I didn’t want to stop there. Ever since, I have been finding ways to travel and helping others explore their dream destinations. 

I'm currently an elementary special education teacher and swim coach. I have two daughters of my own and a teenage stepson. I own a small liquor store with my husband in Northern New York and take every school vacation I can to travel. I try to immerse myself in each destination's local food and spirits as well as checking out some of the history. 

  I wear many hats and find joy in the various roles I play in life. As a mom and wife, my family is at the center of my world. 

Beyond my familial responsibilities, I am also a passionate photographer with my own photography business, Iconic Lens Photography.

With camera in hand, I capture precious moments, freezing them in time to be cherished forever. Whether it's the breathtaking beauty of nature, or the candid expressions of people I encounter, photography allows me to tell stories and express my creativity.

Travel is another great love of mine. The thrill of exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and immersing myself in the wonders of the world fills me with an exhilarating sense of adventure. From wandering through ancient ruins in Rome to strolling along the vibrant streets of Santorini, each journey is an opportunity to broaden my horizons and create lasting memories.

As a self-proclaimed wine lover, I appreciate the artistry and complexity that goes into crafting the perfect glass. Whether it's a bold red or a crisp white, the taste and aroma of a fine wine transport me to different regions and evoke a sense of sophistication and pleasure. Sharing a bottle of wine with loved ones is not just about the drink itself; it's about the conversations, laughter, and connections that unfold over a shared appreciation for this ancient elixir.

Adventure runs through my veins. I am constantly seeking new experiences that push me out of my comfort zone and allow me to grow as an individual. From hiking through the rain forest to trying out thrilling activities,  I find immense satisfaction in conquering fears and embracing the unknown. Life is too short to stay within the confines of familiarity, and I am determined to make the most of every moment.

Above all, I value the importance of fun and joy in life. I believe in living life to the fullest, embracing laughter, and finding moments of pure happiness in the simplest of things. Whether it's dancing like nobody's watching, hosting impromptu game nights, or engaging in playful banter with my loved ones, I strive to infuse every day with lightheartedness and a sense of play.

In essence, I am a mom, wife, photographer, travel lover, wine enthusiast, adventurer, and fun-seeker. Each facet of my identity adds color and depth to my life, shaping me into a multifaceted individual who embraces the beauty and excitement that the world has to offer. With a heart full of love, a spirit of exploration, and a zest for life, I continue to navigate this journey with a smile on my face and an unwavering passion in my soul.

I hope to see you on an adventure with me soon!
