My journey to becoming a tour guide is rooted in a lifelong passion for culture, creativity, and connection. I’ve always been drawn to the richness of human expression—through travel, music, art, and fashion—and how these elements reveal the true spirit of a place. Over time, I realized that what moved me most wasn’t just seeing new places, but feeling them: understanding their rhythm, their stories, and their soul. New York City has long held a special place in my heart. Its energy, diversity, and layered history constantly inspire me. Becoming a tour guide felt like a natural step—a way to share that inspiration with others. For me, guiding is not just about pointing out sights. It’s about offering an experience that awakens curiosity, fosters understanding, and helps people connect with a place on a deeper level. This work allows me to combine everything I love—storytelling, cultural exchange, personal connection—and turn each tour into a moment of discovery for both the traveler and myself.

I have been providing NYC tours for 14 years and LOVE it. I love introducing the city to new tourists and giving return tourists new experiences. Clients should come away from a tour having learned a few facts, having eaten good food, having had some laughter and... experienced the "Wow!" factor. That is an experience/story that blows them away. As a professional guide and performing artist, actor and educator, I can provide this experience. So join me as I show you hightlights of what the Big Apple is most famous for and for a personal journey in seeing how NYC connects to you in ways you would not have imagined!
