About Me

Vice President of Flathead Travel

I love travel and I especially love helping others plan meaningful adventures around the world. Travel is about connection: to new people, cultures, and environments. With extensive personal travel experience, deep industry knowledge, and a genuine passion for exploration, I help my clients design vacations that meet both their dreams and their budgets.

Whether planning a once-in-a-lifetime journey, a family reunion, a honeymoon, or a Veterans’ group trip to Washington, D.C., I support my clients every step of the way before, during, and even after their travels. I have been with the company for 11 years and have proudly served as Vice President for the past 6. In my role as VP, I focus on the operational and strategic heartbeat of the company, overseeing both office locations, supporting our advisors, strengthening marketing efforts, and helping guide the company toward continued growth.

I am a Verified Travel Advisor with certifications including Marriott, Hawai‘i, and New Zealand.

My favorite destinations include Japan, Israel, Croatia, St. Lucia, New Zealand, Turks & Caicos, Hawai‘i, and Mexico.

My specialties include Hawai‘i, Mexico, Arizona, the Caribbean, New Zealand, Israel, and Europe.

I am currently booking travel for clients heading to Africa, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, and Portugal. Recent personal travels include Portland, St. Lucia, Paris, and Grand Cayman. Destinations on my bucket list include Tahiti, the Maldives, Germany, Bali, India, Australia, New Zealand’s South Island, Africa, Costa Rica, Peru, and Brazil.

Best Travel Tip: Use a travel advisor and let the journey change you. Don’t try to control every moment. The best parts of travel are often unplanned: a missed train that sparks a conversation or a wrong turn that leads to a hidden café.

Favorite Travel Memory: Visiting Japan with my son, Alex, when he was 15, and experiencing the food and culture together.

Favorite Quote: “Keep some room in your heart for the Unimaginable.” — Mary Oliver

Fun Fact: I’ve hugged a sloth in Roatan and gone zip-lining in New Zealand.

Interests: Reading, writing, gardening, baking, and anything involving water; lakes, beaches, boating, rafting, and snorkeling.

Great trip to Disneyland and the San Diego zoo etc
Reviewed By Connie - Fairfield Mt | Traveled to Anaheim ~ California ~ USA
Laci was very patient with our son changing hotels and side trips after she had gotten a package ready for us Her communications were straight forward and easy to understand. We knew exactly what the trip would cost and what we would need to pay for while on our trip. When we ran into a problem with one of the hotels charging us extra, I sent her an email and even tho she was out of the office, she got it fixed and let me know what she had done.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Much needed vacation made better!
Reviewed By Rhonda - Kalispell, MT | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA
Laci saved me hours putting together our dream trip. There were so many details. Because Laci got to know us and our preferences, she was able to take care of things when a couple of issues popped.
Even though this trip was quite involved with many details, I will not hesitate to use her skills in planning my future simpler trips. She can quickly explore all the variations available for any type of trip and thinks about even the tiniest details.
