About Me

With over 25 years of experience in the travel industry, I am a group travel specialist who looks forward to taking the time and frustration out of planning your next vacation. The logistics of group travel can be overwhelming for those who don’t plan this type of vacation everyday. That is why it is so important to work with a travel agent. Not only can I help take the hassle out of your trip, I can help pick the perfect cruise ship or resort for your needs and negotiate group discounts. This is especially important when planning a destination wedding. Having coordinated travel plans for weddings in Mexico, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Costa Rica, and even a surprise wedding in Ireland, I am experienced and can help guide you through the process of planning your destination wedding. By using a travel agent, I can help a group see what kind of specials are available, make sure the resort is the right fit for your needs and help save you money! Picking a destination to travel to can be hard with so many amazing options to choose from. I recently came back from beautiful Montego Bay, Jamaica. While I was there I toured many all inclusive resorts that would be ideal for a honeymoon, a destination wedding, or a fun winter vacation with friends!  The people of Jamaica are so fun and happy to give you great service.  Also, this year, I traveled to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and met with sales managers and conducted site inspections at several resorts.  I highly recommend all inclusive resorts for a family or group getaway. The amenities are endless and make for a worry free vacation. My love of travel spans a lifetime of experiences. What began by reading my mother’s National Geographic magazines has evolved into a career infused with travel in every aspect. For 16 years I worked as a flight attendant, taking full advantage of having the opportunity to explore places I may never have been otherwise. This led to the creation of Group Trip Designers, an agency focused on the travel needs of its clients. I also spent over five years working as an instructor at The Travel Academy in Eagan, MN where I had the honor to share my passion with those just starting their careers.  My last trip was to Montego Bay, Jamaica and my next trip is with a group of 26 people going on an Alaskan cruise with Princess Cruise Lines.
