Travel Advisor for Groups, Families, & Couples

Every vacation is a unique experience, and I work hard to make each trip the best it can be. I entered the travel industry nearly 20 years ago once my kids started school. I enrolled in the Carlson Wagonlit Travel Academy in Michigan, and I learned all about preparing the perfect itinerary. After graduating, I immediately started booking trips for clients and haven’t stopped since!

I love helping people create incredible vacations, and I go the extra mile to personalize every itinerary so that it focuses on your interests. I’ll help you find accommodations that take your breath away, and I’ll plan around your desired activities so you have time to enjoy everything at your destination.

Over the years, I’ve gained many certifications with leading brands, including:

  • Disney
  • Viking
  • Palace Resorts
  • Sandals
  • AM Resorts

I’m also a destination wedding and honeymoon specialist, and I book for everyone including couples, groups and families. Some of my recent bookings were for wonderful places, including:

  • Mexico
  • Dominican Republic
  • Jamaica
  • United Kingdom
  • France
  • Italy
  • Netherlands

I’ve booked many of my own vacations with my family throughout Europe and the Caribbean, and I understand the common stresses travelers face when going on a long journey. I’ll take away the stress by planning everything for you from the flights to the transfers, accommodations, activities, and more. Whether you want to enjoy a weekend getaway or multi-country trip, I’ll make sure you never have to worry about a thing!

I’ll research your destination to find new activities and places of interest off the beaten path. Plus, I’ll always be available to answer your questions or concerns. I’ll help to change your trip on short notice, book tickets to local events, or help you discover the best restaurant for the evening.

I want your trip to be exceptional, and your happiness is my number one priority. With nearly 20 years of experience creating unforgettable vacations, I’m ready to book for you today!
