About Me

Sandals Royal Chairman and Wedding Specialist

Travel has been my passion since my first flight to Las Vegas when I was eight-years-old. I have currently traveled to 36 states and 28 countries. When I was 18-year-old I went on my first cruise and in college I spent two full summers abroad in Canada and Europe, furthering my love of travel. I have now been on 15 cruises and experienced 14 all-inclusive resorts. My husband and I share our hobby and career of travel together and have traveled extensively over the past 14 years together, including eight trips to Europe, several of those with our two sons ages 9 and 5. 

Officially, I have been a travel agent for almost six years, but I have been responsible for my personal and extended family and friends' travel for 15 years. My family of four enjoys everything from weekend trips nearby our home to week-long adventures in the Caribbean, Europe, and throughout the US. I love variety, so we may be at Disney or Universal one trip and the next riding a gondola in Colorado or Venice. My favorite place is wherever I am traveling to next.

I recently became a Sandals Royal Chairman and a Silver Sandals Wedding Specialist. Also, I was nominated for the Best of 2022 Honeymoon Travel Planner by Mississippi Magazine. 

My two strongest areas of concentration are romance and family travel. St. Lucia and Jamaica are my top two destinations for my honeymooners, and I have personally traveled to both recently. Having completed both Jamaica's and St. Lucia's travel agent programs, I am one of only two planners from my state recommended on St. Lucia's tourism website as a preferred agent. These two amazing tropical destinations are at the top of my list for both my couples and families.

For me, traveling is my stress-reliever, and I cherish being able to help my guests experience places they never thought they would see. Every year I set a goal to explore somewhere new, so I can always grow. I help my guests every step of the way, many who are applying for their first passport or even taking their first flight. I also assist with experienced travelers, like myself, who have years of travel experience but are branching outside their comfort zones or want a professional to help curate their experience. Whether my clients are novices or well-versed in travel, I adapt to their individual requests.

It is unusual for me to not travel somewhere at least once a month; therefore, I always have destinations I am currently researching and gaining first-hand knowledge to share with my guests. The more I travel the more I realize I have so many more places I desire to experience.

You’ll want Heather in your corner!
Reviewed By Rebecca C - Mobile, AL | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Heather is always quick to respond to requests or questions and goes above and beyond in her customer service! Friendly and honest is something I look for in a TA and she is all of that and more. I recommend her when I can and I assure you once you book with her once and you’ll be hooked for life. Traveling has never been easier and less stressful, especially in these unpredictable times! She’s helped book me to Jamaica 3x, key west, Costa Rica, bahamas and our upcoming trip to curaçao- I will never book myself again!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Planning our Honeymoon and beyond!
Reviewed By Andy D. - Fairborn, OH | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Heather was instrumental in our two visits to Sandals Resorts in Jamacia and numerous stateside vacations. She helped us enormously for our honeymoon. This was the first time for myself and my wife to travel internationally. Heather helped us through the Passport process as well as travel accommodations to and from the airport. My wife has some mobility issues and Heather was able to answer all our questions on what is best for us based on our needs and wants. She also helped arrange a wheelchair for my wife to travel through the airports before we even arrived. Heather answered all my questions and believe me I had ALOT of questions. I didn’t think I needed a travel advisor before meeting Heather. Now I will never travel without the going through Heather. She is always friendly, professional and gets back to you in a timely manner no matter the time zone you are traveling in.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best travel agent ever!
Reviewed By Tyler C - Gulfport, MS | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
We first met Heather and her husband, Logan, in 2018 at a wedding expo on the MS Gulf Coast. She booked our Honeymoon trip to Jamaica in 2019 and has since booked three additional Sandals Vacations and a Disney Trip! She goes above and beyond to ensure we are as stress free as possible when traveling and if an issue does arise, she is easily accessible to help resolve the problem.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The Best Travel Agent
Reviewed By KFLY - Tupelo, MS | Traveled to Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Heather is always available to help me with any trip I come up with, whether it be 2 years in advance, or just 2 months. She has helped me tremendously with trips that I never would have been able to do otherwise.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Phenomenal Travel Agent!
Reviewed By Brandy - Dumas, MS | Traveled to Mexico
I have booked five different family cruises with Heather after making the decision to spend our money on experiences, rather than on toys that the kids would play with for a few weeks then forget about.
I was super nervous about the experience at first, because I’d never been on a cruise or out of the country before.
Heather walked me through the whole thing...well, it’s better to say that she held my hand through the whole thing! Our trips were phenomenal because of her guidance, experience, and even her honesty about the things that we should avoid in certain countries. She was very knowledgeable about the countries that we visited. I recently booked my Jamaican honeymoon through her, which will take place in less than a month, and she has been a great guide for that, since she has been there several times herself!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
