My passion for the ocean and nature has been instilled in me ever since I was a young child. From a young age, rather than wanting to go to Disneyland, I remember begging my mother to take me whale watching off of the Southern California coast or to go to SeaWorld so I could play with the dolphins and watch the orcas (of course my opinions have changed on cetaceans in captivity since then). However, I never lost the love and passion I had for the ocean, especially whales.

In 2023 I received a devastating cancer diagnosis and had endured a nearly year long journey of treatment and healing. This experience really gave me a whole new perspective on the way I viewed life (as a former emergency room nurse, I already knew how fragile life could be). So with my new perspective on living, I have made a commitment to prioritize things that bring the most joy and sense of purpose in this wonderful life.

I invite you to share the love and reverence for the ocean with me. My mission is not only to offer unforgettable ocean experiences but also to foster a deeper connection with the natural world. I believe in the power of the ocean to inspire, heal and awaken a sense of wonder that stays with you long after the tour ends.

I cannot wait for you to join me on an adventure to explore the beauty our oceans have to offer!
