Sandals Royal Chairman and Wedding Specialist

Travel has been my passion since my first flight to Las Vegas when I was eight-years-old. I have currently traveled to 36 states and 28 countries. When I was 18-year-old I went on my first cruise and in college I spent two full summers abroad in Canada and Europe, furthering my love of travel. I have now been on 15 cruises and experienced 14 all-inclusive resorts. My husband and I share our hobby and career of travel together and have traveled extensively over the past 14 years together, including eight trips to Europe, several of those with our two sons ages 9 and 5. 

Officially, I have been a travel agent for almost six years, but I have been responsible for my personal and extended family and friends' travel for 15 years. My family of four enjoys everything from weekend trips nearby our home to week-long adventures in the Caribbean, Europe, and throughout the US. I love variety, so we may be at Disney or Universal one trip and the next riding a gondola in Colorado or Venice. My favorite place is wherever I am traveling to next.

I recently became a Sandals Royal Chairman and a Silver Sandals Wedding Specialist. Also, I was nominated for the Best of 2022 Honeymoon Travel Planner by Mississippi Magazine. 

My two strongest areas of concentration are romance and family travel. St. Lucia and Jamaica are my top two destinations for my honeymooners, and I have personally traveled to both recently. Having completed both Jamaica's and St. Lucia's travel agent programs, I am one of only two planners from my state recommended on St. Lucia's tourism website as a preferred agent. These two amazing tropical destinations are at the top of my list for both my couples and families.

For me, traveling is my stress-reliever, and I cherish being able to help my guests experience places they never thought they would see. Every year I set a goal to explore somewhere new, so I can always grow. I help my guests every step of the way, many who are applying for their first passport or even taking their first flight. I also assist with experienced travelers, like myself, who have years of travel experience but are branching outside their comfort zones or want a professional to help curate their experience. Whether my clients are novices or well-versed in travel, I adapt to their individual requests.

It is unusual for me to not travel somewhere at least once a month; therefore, I always have destinations I am currently researching and gaining first-hand knowledge to share with my guests. The more I travel the more I realize I have so many more places I desire to experience.

You’ll want Heather in your corner!

Reviewed By Rebecca C - Mobile, AL | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Heather is always quick to respond to requests or questions and goes above and beyond in her customer service! Friendly and honest is something I look for in a TA and she is all of that and more. I recommend her when I can and I assure you once you book with her once and you’ll be hooked for life. Traveling has never been easier and less stressful, especially in these unpredictable times! She’s helped book me to Jamaica 3x, key west, Costa Rica, bahamas and our upcoming trip to curaçao- I will never book myself again!

Planning our Honeymoon and beyond!

Reviewed By Andy D. - Fairborn, OH | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Heather was instrumental in our two visits to Sandals Resorts in Jamacia and numerous stateside vacations. She helped us enormously for our honeymoon. This was the first time for myself and my wife to travel internationally. Heather helped us through the Passport process as well as travel accommodations to and from the airport. My wife has some mobility issues and Heather was able to answer all our questions on what is best for us based on our needs and wants. She also helped arrange a wheelchair for my wife to travel through the airports before we even arrived. Heather answered all my questions and believe me I had ALOT of questions. I didn’t think I needed a travel advisor before meeting Heather. Now I will never travel without the going through Heather. She is always friendly, professional and gets back to you in a timely manner no matter the time zone you are traveling in.

Best travel agent ever!

Reviewed By Tyler C - Gulfport, MS | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
We first met Heather and her husband, Logan, in 2018 at a wedding expo on the MS Gulf Coast. She booked our Honeymoon trip to Jamaica in 2019 and has since booked three additional Sandals Vacations and a Disney Trip! She goes above and beyond to ensure we are as stress free as possible when traveling and if an issue does arise, she is easily accessible to help resolve the problem.

Phenomenal Travel Agent!

Reviewed By Brandy - Dumas, MS | Traveled to Mexico
I have booked five different family cruises with Heather after making the decision to spend our money on experiences, rather than on toys that the kids would play with for a few weeks then forget about.
I was super nervous about the experience at first, because I’d never been on a cruise or out of the country before.
Heather walked me through the whole thing...well, it’s better to say that she held my hand through the whole thing! Our trips were phenomenal because of her guidance, experience, and even her honesty about the things that we should avoid in certain countries. She was very knowledgeable about the countries that we visited. I recently booked my Jamaican honeymoon through her, which will take place in less than a month, and she has been a great guide for that, since she has been there several times herself!

Always helpful

Reviewed By Lacey - Hernando, MS | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Heather has scheduled several of our vacations. She is always looking for the best deals for her clients and is available to help. I left my car keys in the resort safe. She worked with the resort to get them to me at the airport before our plane took off.

The best agent for any vacation!!!

Reviewed By Jeanie Christian - Pontotoc, MS | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
From the beginning stages of planning, leading up to the actual trip, Heather was so helpful with providing us her undivided attention. She was informative on Covid restrictions and guidelines when traveling outside the country when those restrictions applied. Even traveling state side with our children, Heather provided attraction information nearby our travel site that helped make our experience even more memorable. If you are looking for someone who is passionate about meeting your specific needs for your travel, I highly recommend Heather! My family and I have used Heather for destinations to Arizona, Florida, Alabama, Jamaica, St. Lucia, and a few cruise lines.

Now we’re addicted to traveling

Reviewed By The Allens - Mississippi | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Heather helped us plan our first international & all inclusive trip. Now we’re hooked! She made the process so easy & answered countless questions. We were unsure of preparing, maneuvering the airport, the resort, etc… She answered all our questions & made us feel comfortable. She has also planned 2 trips for us to Disney, found a cabin for my mother & her friend. when there was a problem at Disney, she was on the phones & helping from her end. Her knowledge & suggestions are invaluable.

Sooooo easy!

Reviewed By Carolyn - Baldwyn, MS | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Heather is always on the ready! She will give suggestions if you need them but what she wants most is for your family to experience what your family wants. She is a great guide in setting up your vacation. It’s very easy to have a great trip when Heather helps plan it.

Always the Best

Reviewed By Happy - Guntown Ms | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
I have used Heather for several years. She looks at the people she helps as family. When she plans an adventure for someone it’s as if she is planning for her family. Heather has always been available anytime there is a question before, during or after our trips. I can’t say enough about how wonderful it is having a person like her to help with making memories

Best trip, even during the Pandemic!

Reviewed By Mallory - Dalton, GA | Traveled to Montego Bay ~ Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Using Heather as our travel agent has made all our vacations SO easy! She's easy to get ahold of via phone and/or social media, shares amazing travel deals regularly, provides a requested quote quickly, explains my best options, finds the best deals, and best of all handles all the work for me at no additional cost. I wouldn't use anyone else!
She was so helpful during the Pandemic when the world shutdown. We had a trip to Sandals planned for July 2020. She kept me up-to-date on all the changes as they were happening. With her help we were still able to go to Sandals during our original dates. The only hiccup (which turned out to be a blessing) was that the resort we originally booked was not going to be opened back up during those dates, so we got UPGRADED to a better resort that was open AT NO ADDITIONAL COST! Best trip, especially after being cooped up in our house for 3 months with our kids! We needed a getaway, just the two of us, with beach, sun, food, and drinks!

Stress Free Vactions!

Reviewed By Manna - Fairborn, OH | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Heather has been my best friend for 33 years. We’ve been on countless trips together through the years and traveling has been her life long passion. Heather has professionally booked two Sandals vacations for me and my husband and has provided an infinite amount of her vast knowledge of traveling. Our first Sandals trip to Sandals Ochi was also our first international trip for both me and my husband. Heather helped us with acquiring our passports and booking our flight from Atlanta to Jamaica. We never had to worry about if we had all the correct paperwork because Heather made sure we had all we needed. Our next Sandals trip was during Covid restrictions and again, we never worried or stressed about having all the correct papers needed. She is truly the most knowledgeable person you could ever meet when it comes to traveling, especially off you are interested in a Sandals, Beaches, a cruise, or Disney vacation. Using her will be the best decision you ever make!
