Born in Newport Beach, raised in San Diego this Southern California native can't live without the sun and sea and living on the Dalmatian Coast means she doesn't have to. After studying International Business with a double minor in Spanish and Portuguese at San Diego State University she began working in the tourism and hospitality industry. She also lived in Mexico, Spain, Hawaii and Brazil before settling down in Klis, a town just outside of Split, with her Croatian husband in 2008.
