I'm a a traveler-turned-tactician who believes our love lives deserve the same intelligence we apply to our careers. With an American heart and a Dutch passport, I built a career creating bespoke luxury experiences in Amsterdam. But my real education came from the fitting rooms of designer boutiques, where I became a trusted sounding board to a global network of ambitious, curious, stylish souls. I realized we didn't need more generic advice; we needed a strategic edge. My work is the result of that pivot: no-fluff, actionable playbooks built on data, not dreams, for women who believe a bad date is a terrible waste of a good travel day.✨
