Summer, who is leading a variety of special projects at TPG, grew up with the travel bug thanks to exploring the country (mostly by car) with her family during school breaks as a kid. While studying at NYU she started racking up frequent flyer miles flying on deals, often visiting friends and family back home in Texas. Now mom to two daughters, she launched the Mommy Points blog in 2011 to show families like hers that miles, points, and loyalty programs weren’t just for business travelers. In 2018, Mommy Points was acquired by TPG.
When she isn’t at her computer hunting for travel deals, she can be found eating shave ice on the North Shore of Kauai, maximizing her time at Disney World, admiring castles in Scotland or just swimming at home in Texas with her family.
Do not click on that travel website (probably).
