About Me

Fun times at the Magic Kingdom
Fun times at the Magic Kingdom

Thank you for visiting my profile! I became a travel agent in early 2023 and for the longest time, I have loved helping people plan family vacations.  

We took our first-ever family vacation to Walt Disney World in 2015 when our oldest daughter was 3 and I was 5 months pregnant with our second. I know, most people aren’t yearning to be in 90-degree heat with humidity to match when they’re very clearly carrying around another person, but having that family babymoon with just the three of us meant everything to me. I fell in love with the experience of a family vacation, of making time to get ourselves away from everyday life and have a new adventure together. 

And that’s what led me to be a travel advisor. I want to take what I’ve learned from my own planning experience and help other people have the family vacation that they’ve dreamed about.  I know just the thought of planning a vacation can be overwhelming, and it gets pushed off hoping you’ll have more time later. 

But you don’t need to wait for when you have more time. That’s what I’m here for and hope to be for my clients. I’ll take vacation planning off your plate so it doesn’t become one more thing on a to-do list that’s already too long. I’ll get to know you and your family, do the research, and recommend some best fits so that you can focus on the fun you’ll have together while I do the heavy lifting. Think of it as having your own vacation personal assistant. 

I would love to help your family plan the vacation you've been dreaming of taking!

Walt Disney World Specialist

Since that first trip in 2015, I have had the opportunity to visit Walt Disney World many times and have stayed in many of the Walt Disney World resorts, including Animal Kingdom Lodge, Polynesian Resort and Villas, Port Orleans Riverside and Pop Century. 

I have experience planning vacations for families visiting Disney with small children, planning Disney vacations with grandparents, and people looking to plan a solo Disney trip as well.

My goal is to help you create the Disney vacation that's the best fit for your family and making memories that will last forever.
