My Simple Pleasures: Cooking for friends and family, cozying in with a loved one, a great glass of wine, languidly reading in a café, a long walk with my dog.

Next On The Bucket List: Uruguay, Budapest and Georgia (the country not the state) are at the top of my list. And Tokyo. Which has been on there too long! I’ve long dreamt of wandering its vibrant alleyways and eating my way through the izakayas and soba shops.

Favorite Travel Quote: "A great way to learn about your country is to leave it."

Client Testimonials

We started working with LDPR in January 2020. Even with such minimal start-up time, they rose to, or rather, went beyond, expectations in guiding us through these challenging times. We cannot imagine a better partner to weather the demands of this past year. Their knowledge, creativity and resilience, not to mention flexibility, is remarkable. The wins they were able to achieve for The Islands of Tahiti, even with border closures and stringent health protocols, are remarkable. LDPR has quickly become part of the Tahiti Tourisme family, and we look forward to a bright future and long-term collaboration.

Tahiti Tourisme

LDPR has been terrific to work with; their team professional and personable allowing for a smooth working relationship. Their efforts have produced fruitful relationships with world-class writers and editors of major hospitality publications, which have led to fantastic coverage for us. LDPR’s strategic planning and flexibility to pivot as needed and provide inspirational social support have been instrumental as we navigate through the recent hospitality upheaval. Thank you to the team at LDPR for your partnership.

Our goal in using LDPR as our New York-based national PR agency was to expand our reach and frequency in luxury lifestyle media and launch a new product line, Extreme Adventures. Impressions in 2008 tripled with placements in the New York Times, Departures, Travel + Leisure, National Geographic Adventure, Elite Traveler, Men’s Journal, Vogue, InStyle and emerging social media such as Globarati, Gadling and Paradizo.
