Originally from upstate New York, I visited California when I was 20 and loved it so much I decided to stay. I am a professional businesswoman in medical imaging and I previously worked for General Electric, where I lead and supported a healthcare team in sales and marketing. Before my career at GE, I was the CEO and president of my own advertising agency. I discovered Airbnb in 2012 and it has since become a passion of mine. I spend most of my time traveling, whether for work or adventure, so I know what travelers need and want. They need comfort, a nice clean bed, an affordable place to stay that is close to everything, and a friend. I love helping people, hosting, and offering fine service to make them feel at home while they are away. As I mentioned, most of my time is on the road but there will always be a note on the door or someone at the house to help. Some of my favorite destinations are the south of France, Belgium, Germany, Asia, and Costa Rica.

I have one son, Tyler, who now works for LinkedIn in San Francisco and is a software engineer. We both love Airbnb because it connects travelers with locals and has a culture of great, accountable service.

I am a social butterfly and blessed with a lot of amazing friends. I enjoy going to yoga every day when I'm home and like to ride my bike to yoga.

I am part of a professional choral group and enjoy opera, jazz, contemporary, and world music.

As a hostess, I will greet you and give you an overview of the town. And, of course, I will leave you to your privacy. If you need anything, I'm a phone call away.

My purpose in life is to give. Airbnb helps me with this by allowing me to share my home with others!
