Family Travel and Autism Travel Professional

Residing in Holly Springs, North Carolina, with a passion for crafting unforgettable family vacations, I am a Certified Autism Travel Professional and a proud mother of two wonderful children. My expertise lies in curating vacations tailored to the unique needs of families, catering to a diverse range of travelers. From families seeking thrilling adventures at theme parks like Disney World and Universal Orlando to multigenerational groups looking for a blend of relaxation and excitement on cruises or all-inclusive resorts, I am dedicated to helping plan seamless experiences for every member of the family. 

Having sailed on nearly every family-friendly cruise line and embarking on numerous voyages annually, I possess firsthand knowledge of cruise vacations, ensuring that families can unwind while their children are engaged in enriching activities. Similarly, my extensive training and first-hand experience in theme park destinations like Disney and Universal enables me to simplify the complexities of these vacations, transforming daunting planning processes into smooth, enjoyable journeys. 

My commitment to accessibility and inclusively is evident through my certifications as a Certified Accessible Travel Advocate and the completion of specialized training programs for various travel providers, including Disney, Universal, Beaches, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, and more. This dedication extends into my personal life, with my involvement in initiatives promoting diversity and inclusion within our community, such as spearheading the establishment of our school's first Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee. 

One of my most rewarding experiences was planning a Disney land and sea vacation for a group of 15, many of whom were first-time visitors to Disney World and a Disney Cruise. Guiding them through every aspect of their journey, from selecting accommodations suitable for all generations to arranging dining reservations and crafting comprehensive itineraries, I alleviated any concerns, ensuring they left for their adventure with confidence and excitement. 

In addition to my career, I am deeply invested in creating memorable moments with my own family. Whether spending quality time at our cherished beach house in Oak Island or enjoying the companionship of our beloved rescued golden retriever, Winnie, family remains at the heart of everything I do. 

As a newcomer to the travel industry, I am driven by a genuine passion for making travel accessible and enjoyable for families, especially those with neurodivergent children. With my unwavering dedication, firsthand experiences, and extensive expertise, I am committed to crafting exceptional vacations that create lasting memories for families across the globe.
