Family and Small Group Vacation Specialist
Planning trips and traveling is very enjoyable to me. As a military spouse, I saw each move as new and exciting and always looked forward to experiencing as much as I could in our area. Visiting theme parks is always at the top of my to-do list, but it wasn’t until I had a family of my own that I experienced Walt Disney World® Resort for the first time. I fell in love and soon found myself helping friends and family plan their trips. I eventually decided to do planning professionally, and it was the best decision I have ever made. This was only the beginning of my professional journey and soon I found myself attending events and webinars to gain a greater knowledge base and perspective of all the fascinating destinations and travel experiences offered. As my confidence in traveling grew, I took my first cruise and I finally made it overseas to Rome and Paris. I would love to visit again, but there is so much of the world to see. I enjoy getting to know my client’s needs and travel desires so I can build an itinerary tailored just for them. There are always the "must-do" activities, but
I enjoy finding something off the beaten path many may not know about so my clients can create wonderful lasting memories for themselves.
My favorite travel quote; “Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta. My speechless moment came around every turn inside Palais Garnier (the Paris Opera House) and I always recommend it for those visiting Paris. For more than 10 years, I have helped my clients create memories, but also made them storytellers.
