24 Years of Experience

Full Spectrum Travel Professional

My passion for adventure started as a child and is still strong today.  I started working in the travel industry when I was just 19 years old, and worked for different airlines before joining American Express Travel. I took a few years off to work in different industries, but that only made me realize how much I loved working with travel! I eventually became a travel agent once again, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision!

I have over 20 years of experience in the travel industry, and I continue to love creating dream vacations around the world. I’ve gained many certifications over the years and have skills pertaining to all types of vacations from cruises to multi-destination tours and more. Plus, I've lived in numerous states throughout the US along with time in Canada, Mexico, and the UK, and I understand the importance of learning about a local culture when traveling abroad.

I currently focus on booking:

  • Active 55+ Vacations
  • Solo and Group Tours
  • River Cruises
  • Girl’s Getaways
  • Cultural and Historic Tours
  • Active Adventures (diving, biking, hiking, etc.)
  • Luxury Travel
  • Plus more!

I’m certified with many exciting destinations and brands as well including:

  • Australia
  • Switzerland
  • Marriott
  • Princess Commodore
  • Royal Caribbean
  • Norwegian Cruise
  • Viking River Cruise
  • United States
  • Disney
  • And more!

I love helping my clients feel like a local in any destination, and I do this by researching the best restaurants, hidden gems, and areas of cultural interest. Whether you want to ride a bicycle through historic streets or enjoy luxurious private tours around town, I’ll craft an itinerary that perfectly matches your personality and goals!

I create and book customized travel adventure vacations around the world, and some of my favorite destinations include:

  • England
  • France
  • Netherlands
  • Germany
  • Hawaii
  • Alaska
  • Canada
  • Mexico
  • Disney’s Parks
  • And more!

I used to work as a tour guide as well, and the experience taught me how to create itineraries that let you enjoy yourself at your own pace. I'll always tailor your itinerary to fit your specific needs and ensure you have a truly unique experience. I'll help you prepare everything from exciting activities to carefree nights and more. No matter what your dream vacation is, I’ll work hard to make it come true!

Whether it's helping you plan your adventure of a lifetime, your next "girls trip", a group cruise, a relaxing beach getaway or your next business trip, I work hard to make help you create amazing moments & have incredible experiences, one adventure at a time!
