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.

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!
