Marketing That Drives Destination Demand

In the tourism industry, every message needs to spark curiosity, build trust, and inspire action. Whether you’re promoting a destination, attraction, or experience, your marketing must reflect your brand’s personality while reaching the right people at the right time. I combine strategic thinking with creative execution to help tourism brands boost visibility, increase visitation, and deliver memorable experiences.

With more than 17 years of professional marketing experience, I’ve worked directly in the tourism industry—leading public relations for a major cultural attraction that welcomed over 200,000 annual visitors. I also served on statewide committees for the Florida Attractions Association and Visit Florida, giving me insight into both local and regional tourism marketing efforts. My work spans storytelling, digital campaigns, brand partnerships, and media strategy, all designed to grow awareness and attract the right audiences.
