After years in the classroom, I traded lesson plans for travel plans. I’m a former educator turned travel agent who believes learning happens best through new experiences. I love traveling with my husband and two girls, especially to the Caribbean and Alaska. I specialize in cruises and have sailed with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, and MSC and am familiar with Virgin Voyages. As someone who eats gluten-free, I also help clients navigate dietary needs so they can travel with confidence. Whether you’re dreaming of a relaxing beach getaway, an adventurous cruise, a destination wedding, or a once-in-a-lifetime family vacation, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. I would love to help you plan your next adventure and create memories that will last a lifetime.
