Professional Experience
At FINN Partners, I co-lead the West Coast Travel Team, where I direct strategy for luxury hospitality, hotel, and resort properties. From launching boutique and industry-leading hotels to navigating clients through all stages of crises, I’ve built strong, long-lasting client relationships, and have been fortunate for clients to join me at various agencies. As a self-proclaimed oenophile, the hardest job I ever had was as a harvest intern in Sonoma.
For me, being a mother made me a better professional, because coming home every night to my girls reminded me what I was working for. And being a professional made me a better mother, because by pursuing my dreams, I was modeling for my girls how to pursue their dreams.
- Michelle Obama, Former First Lady
How'd you get here?
Before embarking into the wild and wonderful world of PR over a decade ago, I was first a journalist at a local paper in Australia. Since then, I have worked with large and small clients in the hospitality, luxury, fitness, and F&B industries in the U.S. and Australia. I joined Hawkins International in 2018 as the second hire in the newly established Los Angeles office and I am proud to have grown our team significantly since. My journey has been a mix of passion and perseverance, including a lifelong dream realized by backpacking around the world for just over a year.
