I spent over a decade in aviation and leadership roles, building a career that took me around the world. From the outside, life looked full. But somewhere between airports, boardrooms and busy family life, I found myself craving something slower, more meaningful, and more connected.

What I loved most about travelling was never the landmarks. It was the people I met, the meals shared around a table, and the stories exchanged over good food and wine.

So when the opportunity came to press pause, my family and I moved to Italy for a year. Italy has a way of changing your pace. Meals are longer. Conversations run deeper. People gather often. Life feels a little less rushed.

Seasons to Gather was born from that experience.

Today, I spend my time creating small-group food and wine journeys through Italy, introducing women to local farmers, winemakers, cheesemakers and artisans, and sharing the places that have captured my heart.

Think truffle hunts in Umbria, cooking beneath lemon trees in Sicily, long lunches overlooking vineyards, and evenings spent around a table with women who arrive as strangers and leave as friends.

At its heart, Seasons to Gather is about experiencing Italy through its food, people and traditions, one season at a time.

So pull up a chair.

There's a seat waiting for you at the table and I can’t wait to have you join us.
