About Me

Alaska, Europe & River Cruise Travel Planning

Alaska Salmon Fishing
Alaska Salmon Fishing

I specialize in thoughtful, detail-driven travel planning for travelers who want meaningful experiences without the overwhelm. Born and raised in Alaska, I bring firsthand knowledge of the state’s landscapes, seasons, and logistics to every itinerary I design. As an Alaska travel advisor specializing in cruises and land tours, I help travelers confidently explore Alaska while also planning curated journeys throughout Europe and beyond, with a special focus on European river cruises, tours, and group travel.

Before becoming a travel advisor, I served 20 years in the military, where I developed the leadership, organization, and problem-solving skills that now define how I work with clients. My experience includes coordinating complex domestic and international travel for senior leadership, including a 4-star general, where precision, timing, and contingency planning were critical.

Types of travel I plan:

• Alaska cruises, land tours, and cruise-tour combinations

• European river cruises

• Custom Europe itineraries

• Small group and hosted group travel

My planning process is structured yet personal. I take time to understand how you like to travel, then design a seamless itinerary that balances iconic highlights with authentic experiences.

Let’s plan a journey that shifts your compass — wherever it may lead!
