Cruise and All-Inclusive Destination Specialst

Breathtaking Barbados!
Breathtaking Barbados!

I’ve always had a passion for travel for as long as I can remember. My first experience was booking vacations for family and friends. I was the one happily planning and booking the reunions, girls’ getaways, honeymoons, you name it!  If someone needed help finding a unique vacation, I was your girl! But you know what, it never felt like work, and it was never a burden for me to book their travel. Growing up, my parents exposed my sister and I to travel at a very early age, some of which started in the back of our station wagon, but some were on trains and airplanes, but there was always a trip on the horizon. They wanted to show us different cultures and destinations, and we were able to experience traveling together as a family which was exciting for me.

I’ve been in the travel business “officially” for about 6 years. I provide personalized travel planning for individual, couples, families, and groups. I grow my business with referrals from my clients, which I believe is a sign of their satisfaction and confidence in my services.

I focus my travel business on cruises to all destinations on the major cruise lines. I also focus on all-inclusive resort packages in the Bahamas, Mexico, and the Caribbean. I absolutely love what I do!

As you think about where you’d like to travel for your next getaway, rest assured that you have found someone who will make things easier for you! I look forward to working with clients and helping them plan the details of their travel journeys and to find their “happy place!”
