Certified Leisure Travel Specialist

Masai Mara

With an early passion for travel and exploring the world-at-large, I now spend my days helping families, couples and solo travelers navigate the myriad of options available for their travel desires and needs. As a travel agent, I specialize in river cruising as well as exciting and fulfilling trips to Europe and the Caribbean.

From a home base of St. Louis, Missouri, I’ve managed to explore destinations such as Curacao, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Bora Bora, Cancun and Puerto Vallarta. The surreal natural beauty of Tahiti, paired with the warmth and welcoming spirit of local Tahitians, is a special memory that now fuels a passion for making those experience possible for clients.

I am a Certified Leisure specialist and currently building expertise in the Certified Group specialist program and the Honeymoon and Wedding specialist program. But my real strengths as a travel agent lie in helping each client travel within their means while enjoying life-changing and pleasure-filled journeys. I help people realize that travel is still possible even with limited funds, and I delight in seeing their faces when realizing they can travel to their dream destinations in affordable ways.

I am often able to provide custom touches to clients who trust me with their special moments. On one couple’s anniversary trip to Italy, I arranged for a candlelit rooftop dinner, a Roman opera and Italian aperitif to celebrate their life commitment. One client wanted to fly first class to Hong Kong for three days just to bungee jump from the Macao Tower and then return home. Did he get his wish? Yes, he did.  

When not exploring the world on my own life-fulfilling journeys or helping others do the same, I enjoy a relaxing life watching movies and spending time with my family.
