Hello and welcome! Let me tell you a bit about me and my travel consultant journey. My career in travel started in July 2013 out of a genuine passion for vacationing and all that comes with it! I enjoy every stage of the planning process, adventure, and culture, and love helping others; especially to make their travel dreams a reality. I have extensive knowledge, training, and experience planning incredible and memorable vacations.

I fell in love with travel as a child doing road trips with my large family. I have so many irreplaceable memories from those many camping, fishing, theme parks, historical centers, museums, national park trips, and beaches, all over the USA. Reminiscing about them with my siblings and parents is a great pastime to this day.

As an adult when I went on my first cruise, I was hooked and began looking at how I could make this travel passion a career while staying home with my son. I began training and opened Collective Memories Travel, LLC in June 2013. I picked this name carefully, to reflect what I passionately feel about traveling; you collect the memories, you get to keep those forever and they don't wear out or get thrown away and you can add to them anytime. 

I LOVE beaches! I love the Caribbean! The blue waters, sandy beaches, warm weather, and a light breeze. The people and culture. It is so very different than the area I was born and raised in, Idaho.

I enjoy cruising, island hopping, and the endless food. The island scenery and cultures; and did I mention the sandy & waters? I enjoy the kind people of Mexico, I travel there multiple times a year and have some great friends who are like family from my interactions personally and business-wise. It makes my vacations and business travel there terrific. I enjoy the resort site inspections, the country's history, and endless adventures like biking, zip-lining, and water activities. Oh, and let's not forget lounging on the beach in the sun.

I have met the criteria and hold an IATA card (International Association of Travel Agents). By meeting the booking and commission goals every year. I keep up with the certifications of many resort brands, destinations, theme parks, and cruises. Continually learning as things with travel are ever-changing.

I do travel around as much as time and finances allow. I go so you will know. I enjoy the opportunity I have to speak with, meet, and serve so many people with their travel needs. So, If you are looking to make travel memories with your family, spouse/significant other, friends, co-workers, or specialty groups (pickle-ball, book clubs, church, sports, etc); have a flare for adventure or relaxation, or just want to check things off your bucket list. I look forward to serving you!
