My Story

Traveler. Creator. Experience Curator.

I’ve never been someone who followed a perfectly mapped-out path — and honestly, I wouldn’t change that.

My journey has always been shaped by curiosity, movement, and a desire to experience the world in a deeper way.

Before creating Passport by Pace, I spent years traveling as a national spokesperson with Jeep, constantly exploring new places, meeting new people, and chasing experiences that pushed me outside of the familiar. I loved the adventure, but somewhere along the way, I also found myself craving something slower — a more intentional way of experiencing life.

That search led me to Paris.

While studying at Le Cordon Bleu and earning my Level II Sommelier certification, along with a degree in Wine & Management and Wine Tourism from the University of Reims in Champagne, I discovered that what fascinated me most about wine was never just the wine itself.

It was the story.

The people behind it.
The traditions.
The landscapes.
The feeling of being somewhere and truly understanding it.

After returning to the U.S., I spent several years working in wine distribution. While it was an incredible opportunity, I eventually realized that the traditional path wasn’t aligned with the way I wanted to live or the experiences I wanted to create.

When that chapter ended, I saw it less as a setback and more as an invitation.

An opportunity to finally build something that felt like me.

Yoga had already been a constant in my life — a practice that taught me presence, awareness, and the importance of slowing down. Travel taught me curiosity, connection, and the courage to step outside of what I knew.

Together, those experiences shaped the foundation of Passport by Pace.

I’ve always loved planning travel — discovering the hidden gems, finding the places worth remembering, creating the itinerary that feels effortless but unforgettable.

But what I love most is creating the space for people to fully experience those moments.

To put away the research.
To step away from the everyday.
To reconnect with themselves, with others, and with the world around them.

Passport by Pace is the culmination of everything I love: meaningful travel, intentional experiences, incredible places, and the belief that life is meant to be experienced — not simply moved through.

I can’t wait to help you discover where your next journey takes you.
