Hello!  My name is Jess and I am eager to meet you!  Just a little background about me. I have been married for 22 years, we have one daughter and two spoiled dogs.  I am a breast cancer survivor and have been in remission for 5 years.  

Travel has always been a passion of mine.  I graduated back in 2002 from Mann Travel Academy in Greensboro, NC.  I had to put my plans on hold due to the effects of September 11th.   

Many years later, in 2014 I accepted a position with a local audiologist.  The practice is contracted with the US Military to perform hearing tests around the country.  I was responsible for ensuring our physicians and our techs were on time each weekend for the highly visible events. The travel arrangements were both domestic and at times international.  

In 2017, my husband and I had a turn in our professional lives.  He asked me what I really wanted to do.  I looked at him and said I want to continue working in travel and this is when Keepsake Journeys evolved.  We decided it was time for me to pursue my love and passion for travel. He was and always has been very supportive of this journey. 

September 11th was not the only setback that I had with my travel career.  As I mentioned above I am breast cancer survivor.  I had taken quite a bit of time off for treatments, etc.  Once I was finished treatment, I started my business back up.  Guess what happened next?  You guessed it... COVID!  

I am determined to grow my business and to form relationships with my clients.  I do not want to only assist on one booking, rather assist you throughout the upcoming years!  I build a travel profile for each of my clients so future bookings are so much easier without having to gather all the necessary information.  

Why choose Keepsake Journeys Travel?

Sandals the perfect romantic destination

With a real desire to help others, this is what I feel I am called to do.  As a Travel Advisor, I have booked many cruise for clients aboard many different ships on Carnival and Royal Caribbean.
