I began my journey in the hospitality industry 15 years ago, working at a country club & have never looked back. Since then I have lived (Japan, Hong Kong & Singapore) and traveled all over Asia working for hotels, hospitality tech companies & studying tourism. After my time in Asia I moved to New York City to work for a luxury Tour Operator & a DMC focused on Asia.

The last full time position I held before transitioning into freelance & starting my own company was partnership manager at Fora. I am now founder of Komasa Collection, a boutique marketing & representation firm focused entirely on Japan. I also am founder & curator of Hometings, an online vintage shop.

I can help with:
- Website building on Squarespace, (examples of my work are Komasa (https://www.komasacollection.com/) & Hometings ( https://www.shophometings.com/)
- Supplier relations, having worked both as a supplier and in partner relations at Fora - this is the language I speak
- Canva (creating sample itineraries & marketing material)
- Destination Research, Asia is my specialty but I love researching any destination, especially Greece (where my family is from) & South America (Brazil & Argentina where I just was) - this is my favorite thing about planning a trip
- Email marketing, I love building out easy to understand newsletters that people actually want to read, I recently transitioned over to substack as this allows you to grow a wider audience (examples of my work here https://substack.com/home/post/p-146167285?r=42u0ys&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web)
- Trello is how I organize my different projects & I look forward to helping you organize yours as well
