About Me

Secrets Playa Mujeres Mexico
Secrets Playa Mujeres Mexico

Years ago, as a young woman, I headed off the college not quite sure what direction my life was headed.  I spent about a year and a half doing what I had to do in school but honestly was always looking for something more.  Someone suggested I explore the Travel and Tourism program. 

That was one of the best piece of advice I was ever given! 

Learning about all the wonderful places on our beautiful planet was simply exciting!!  I graduated with my degree in Travel and Tourism and never looked back. 

42 years later - I'm the proud owner Wilcox Travel Leaders.

Every aspect of travel planning excites me.  I get excited helping to plan of a vacation of a life time. Turning complex travel logistics into seamless experiences.  Transforming travelers' dreams into reality and witnessing pure joy when clients return from life-changing adventures.

No matter what your travel needs - I'm here to help you get it done with expertise and knowledge.

All Inclusive Vacation Specialist

As an All Inclusive Vacation Specialist at Wilcox Travel Leaders, I have had the pleasure of experiencing some of the top all-inclusive resorts in the most stunning destinations across Mexico and the Caribbean. From the white sand beaches to the lush tropical landscapes, I've personally visited a variety of all-inclusive resorts to immerse myself to truly understand what makes these vacations so special.

All-inclusive resorts offer unparalleled value, convenience, and peace of mind, with meals, drinks, activities, and entertainment seamlessly bundled into one exceptional price point.

I would be delighted to share my firsthand knowledge and insights to help you plan the all-inclusive escape of a lifetime.
