Since founding her private jet consultation company, Made to Jetset, Inc., in 2017, she has consistently demonstrated her commitment to providing tailored solutions for clientele members, whether they are traveling with pets or not through expert project management.

Honey's journey in aviation began ambitiously. She has held varied roles that uniquely position her to lead Made to Jetset, Inc.

In this capacity, she managed high-profile jet programs for renowned clients including American Express Travel, Boeing, Textron, and NIKE Travel. It was during her tenure at Le Bas International that she developed a close connection with Brian Fiske, the founder of Pet Jets, who recognized her unique talent for growing anything put in front of her and invited her to join him to build the company.

Her extensive experience is not limited to private aviation services; she has a comprehensive understanding of cargo transportation, having worked in freight logistics in the concert music touring industry. Honey contributed to logistics for some of the biggest names in entertainment, such as Whitney Houston, Pantera, Coldplay, Linkin Park, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Prince, Metallica, The Eagles, Rihanna, ASAP Rocky, and Beyoncé, while being a foundational partner in two successful cargo companies—Air Cargo Entertainment Services (ACES) and Shockwave Cargo. This multifaceted background within various sectors of worldwide logistics and aviation allows Honey to approach challenges with innovative solutions that go beyond standard aircraft brokerage practices. If she doesn't know something she knows someone who does.At the helm of Made to Jetset, Inc.

Her empathetic approach resonates deeply with Pet Jets’ clientele members, seeing them return for repeated services throughout their lives.

Honey’s philosophy emphasizes a holistic view of private jet travel, recognizing that cost should not be the sole determinant of decision-making. Instead, she factors in safety, stability, and overall experience—both for people and their pet companions.

With countless flight experiences and industry insights, she excels at offering best practices in booking private aircraft charters, ensuring that every detail—from catering to jet-side transport— is meticulously planned.

Outside the professional sphere, Honey maintains a well-rounded lifestyle with her husband, daughter, parkette, and 3 dogs in Newport Beach, CA. She enjoys spending time with her family, traveling to the mountains for snow activities, stargazing in the desert, or enjoying the ocean.  Additionally, her love for music and concerts adds joie de vivre to her personal life. Honey graduated from Orange Coast College with an AA in Political Science and Chapman University with a BA in legal studies and was a three-sport athlete, swimming, water polo, crew and member of Phi Sigma Sigma.
