After more than three decades as a special education teacher and a lifetime of planning unforgettable trips for family, friends, and sports teams, I turned my passion into a career I truly love. As the dedicated owner and travel advisor at DPB Travel, I specialize in crafting meaningful, accessible, and stress-free vacations for families, educators, military personnel, and anyone who dreams of experiencing the world with confidence and ease. My journey into travel wasn’t just about seeing the world — it was about helping others feel seen, supported, and celebrated while they explore it. I know firsthand how the right trip can bring people closer, create lasting memories, and offer the rest and joy we all deserve. With every itinerary I build, my mission is simple: to take care of the details, so you can focus on the moments that matter most-- creating memories!

What Sets Me Apart

What sets me apart is more than just my travel knowledge — it’s the heart I bring to every trip I plan. As a special education teacher with over 30 years in the classroom, I know how powerful the right support can be — and I bring that same care and attentiveness to my travel clients. Whether I’m designing an accessible vacation for a family with special needs, or finding the perfect all-inclusive escape for a busy teacher or first responder, I treat every itinerary like it’s my own. 

I’m also proud to be an ASTA Verified Travel Advisor, a designation held by only a select group of professionals in the travel industry. This prestigious credential, awarded by the American Society of Travel Advisors, represents a high level of training, ethics, and accountability. It’s a mark of trust — showing that I’m not only experienced, but also committed to ongoing education and held to the highest standards of service and professionalism. When you work with me, you can feel confident knowing you have an elite, certified professional in your corner.

But my work doesn’t stop at flights and hotel bookings. I offer full concierge-style service — whether you’re home or away. From dining reservations, sporting events, theater tickets, and spa appointments, to proposal planning, and surprise celebrations, I’m all hands on deck to make sure your experience is unforgettable from start to finish. I believe everyone deserves a chance to explore the world with confidence, comfort, and joy — no matter their circumstances.
