About me

About me
Born in Hollywood, CA, but raised in the suburbs with ample travel opportunities, I’m a city girl who loves nature. The travel bug was instilled early in life when I visited family in Europe and grew up to be a big fan of solo travel.

Since I’m an actor/host, I continue to live in Los Angeles and enjoy being a local traveler continuously uncovering the many gems it has to offer.

Why Los Angeles?
Warm weather, healthy living, and a ton of things to do!

From free events to exclusive parties; from the beaches to the mountains…you can find everything in Los Angeles - nightlife, art, and nature. Even as an L.A. native I am constantly discovering something new. I love living in a city where local adventures are close at hand!
