Group Travel Specialist

I've been in the travel industry for 10 years and have extensive knowledge in planning memorable vacations. However, I didn't start out wanting to be a travel agent.  A good friend had her own agency and she needed someone to represent her agency at a weekend FAM in the Bahamas because she needed to be in St. Kitts viewing a site for her upcoming wedding.  I was doing part-time administrative consulting at the time so I said ok. I visited the resort, documented the pros & cons of the resort, met some great agents (who encouraged me to give it a try!), and by the time I returned home, I was bit by the travel bug!  

Prior to becoming a travel professional, I'd traveled to Cancun, Mexico a few times and had gone on a 7 day Caribbean cruise. I enjoy land/air vacations, but I loved cruising from the very beginning.  It's great to be able to visit multiple destinations without having to pack and unpack at each stop.  I enjoy meeting new people and having the luxury of staying on board to enjoy the ship if I don't want to explore the designated port.

My most enjoyable vacation thus far has been to Havana, Cuba! I cruised on the Norwegian Sky in September 2018 for my birthday.  The Cuban people are warm and inviting. The  people I met there made me feel like a long, lost cousin they were happy to see!  Cuba is rich in history and culture, which I enjoyed learning about, so I could share with my customers.
