Daisy grew up outside, in the mountains and high desert around Santa Fe: hiking, skiing and riding horses. Her love for Africa began with a family safari at age seven, and years later, Daisy returned to Kenya to work at Borana Lodge, where she hosted guests and led horseback rides, falling even more in love with Kenya and the safari lifestyle.
Some of her most memorable travels have taken her to New Zealand, Kenya, Nicaragua, and Morocco.
At UNCHARTED, Daisy supports the travel design team and assists clients as they prepare for their journeys. She also manages UNCHARTED’s social media, sharing stories that bring the brand’s adventures to life.
When not at work, you can find Daisy exploring the Southern California coast, riding through the foothills of Santa Barbara, and getting in the ocean every chance she gets.
