I've always believed that travel is one of the best investments we can make in ourselves and our families. It's about so much more than visiting new places. It's about the experiences we have, the people we meet, the perspectives we gain, and the memories we bring home. And I believe that planning a great vacation deserves just as much thought and care as the vacation itself!

With over 10 years of experience as a Travel Advisor, I bring together my travel industry knowledge, professional training, firsthand travel experience, and something a little different — a background in corporate strategy, research, and analytical problem-solving.

What does that mean for you? Simply put, I love figuring things out! I enjoy researching destinations, comparing options, understanding the finer details, and finding the right combination of experiences, accommodations, and activities to suit your interests, priorities, and budget. My goal isn't simply to book you a vacation. It's to help you plan the right vacation for YOU.

My core areas of expertise and professional certification include Disney and Universal vacations, ocean and river cruises, global packaged tours, and all-inclusive resort vacations, particularly Sandals Resorts. I have a special affinity for Europe and the Caribbean, although my experience extends to planning and booking vacations across the globe.

As your Travel Advisor, I offer more than reservations. I provide honest advice, personalized recommendations, practical guidance, detailed travel information, and a real person you can turn to with questions before and during your trip. I value the relationships I build with my clients, and nothing makes me happier than helping families and travelers discover new places and experiences they'll treasure.

A little about me personally...

I'm a single mom to one daughter, and I've always believed that introducing children to the wider world is one of the greatest gifts we can give them. Travel opens minds, broadens perspectives, builds understanding, and helps children grow up seeing themselves as global citizens whose opportunities aren't limited by geography. That belief shaped how I raised my daughter. She began traveling internationally at just five years old, and together we've explored destinations across the United States, more than 15 European countries, Egypt, Israel, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Those experiences have reinforced something I've always believed: the world has so much to teach us, if we're willing to explore it.

Whether you're planning a magical family vacation, a relaxing Caribbean escape, a European adventure, an unforgettable cruise, or a once-in-a-lifetime journey, I'd love to put my knowledge, experience, and planning skills to work for you.
