Hello! I have been traveling my entire life! I was born in a military family, so I had the luxury of moving every other year my entire childhood to many wonderful places. I was born in Hawaii and have lived in Alaska, Georgia, Italy, Germany, Maryland, Florida, and Hawaii again at a later age.

During college, I met my husband who joined the military right after our wedding, and we began to travel some more. We were able to live in Oklahoma, Germany, Japan, and Colorado. His military career was cut short due to medical issues so after becoming honorably discharged, he became a disabled vet. Having firsthand experience being a wife of a disabled vet and caring for him at such a young age in our marriage, I will be supporting a local Veteran group in my area annually. My older brother, who was also a disabled vet, passed away from complications he had while being deployed overseas, so this project has a very personal meaning to me. 

Why did I become a travel agent? When I used a travel agent for the first time, it was not a great experience. I did not feel like I was being prioritized. This experience inspired me to want to give honest and clear communication that makes each client feel like they are my only client. Honesty is especially important to me so I wanted to become a travel agent that you could come to and know you are getting authentic service.

I am a mother of 3, so traveling with kids is another area I specialize in. I never wanted to hold myself back from travel once I started having children, so I started learning many tips and tricks when it comes to traveling with children. I'll be able to guide you and your family along to keep trips as smooth as possible when traveling with your children, so everyone has a great time!

My personal travels have allowed me to experience many destinations first-hand. My passion and love for travel has been my motivation for wanting to open a travel agency in the first place. There are so many vacations to choose from and I know it can be overwhelming, so finding the right travel agent to keep things as easy as possible is what I am hoping to be for you! I plan on being available as much as possible whether it is through phone calls, e-mail, or text. I am ready to start planning your vacation today!
