Travel Partnerships Specialist

Climbing Yosemite’s Half Dome

I am the Founder and Travel Partnerships Specialist of The Traveling Mindset, a full?service independent travel agency affiliated with Nexion Travel Group. I specialize in designing highly personalized travel experiences that reflect each client’s unique interests, accessibility needs, and vision for their journey.

In my role as a Travel Partnerships Specialist, I cultivate strong, trust?based relationships with vetted global suppliers, including hotels, cruise lines, tour operators, and destination partners. These relationships allow me to align each traveler with the right products, the right pace, and the right level of service. By collaborating closely with reputable, service?driven partners, I ensure every itinerary is thoughtfully curated, reliably supported, and crafted to the standards my clients expect.

I hold professional certifications as a Certified Tourism Ambassador™ (CTA) through the Tourism Ambassador Institute®, a Certified Autism Travel Professional™ (CATP) through the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards, and an SNG Certified Accessible Travel Advocate® (CATA) through Special Needs Group®.

As an active member of the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) and Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), I remain connected to evolving industry standards, emerging trends, and best practices across the travel landscape.

Before becoming a Travel Partnerships Specialist, I spent eight years with globally recognized hospitality brands, including Hilton Worldwide and Starwood Hotels & Resorts. My background in group and leisure sales, meetings, and events strengthened my destination knowledge and instilled a deep commitment to service excellence.

I believe travel should be accessible to everyone, and that every journey deserves thoughtful planning and genuine care. Whether you’re envisioning a peaceful retreat, an exhilarating adventure, or a trip designed around specific accessibility needs, I’m here to make the experience seamless, enriching, and uniquely tailored to you. I welcome travelers of all backgrounds and abilities and would be delighted to help you begin planning your next unforgettable journey.
