Born in Hawaii in a multi-cultural (*Japanese, Chinese, English, Irish, German, Scot, native Hawaiian) family, Marissa grew up appreciative of her island home, curious about her heritage, and eager to explore the world.
Marissa's weekend hobby turned into a career when the birth of her daughter in 2017 brought a pivot from attorney to full-time-mom and travel advisor. Her joie de vivre and passion for luxury travel are contagious, and clients appreciate her authenticity, expertise, and attention to detail.
Marissa has twice achieved the designation of SmartFlyer Rising Star, a shining reflection of the repeat business and referrals from supportive clients.
In 2024, Marissa was honored by Virtuoso as a nominee for Top Advisor in the Wellness Community
