Cruise, Disney, Europe & Hawaii Travel Expert
I believe some of life’s most meaningful moments happen when we step away from our routines and experience the world in a new way—whether that’s watching a sunset in a place you’ve never been, exploring a new culture, or simply spending uninterrupted time with the people you love. That belief is what drives my passion for travel and the work I do every day.
I have been a travel advisor since 2023, but I have been a lover of travel since as long as I can remember. Over the years, I have been very blessed to have explored more than 20 countries on four continents and 48 of the 50 U.S. states. This includes time spent living, studying and traveling throughout Europe as well as a cross-country road trip across the United States. These firsthand experiences allow me to offer more than just recommendations. I provide thoughtful insight and trusted guidance so you can travel with confidence.
Over the years, I’ve really fallen in love with cruising. I love how it allows you to settle in, unwind, and still experience so much of the world in a way that feels relaxed and just right. From ocean voyages to river cruises, it’s a versatile and enriching way to travel—whether you’re planning meaningful time with family, a relaxing escape, or a more immersive, extended experience.
Helping families create meaningful vacations is especially important to me. I love designing trips where loved ones can truly reconnect, slow down, and enjoy time together—whether that’s experiencing the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands or creating lasting memories cruising aboard Disney Cruise Line. I love working with couples and retirees who are ready to explore the world in a more refined and intentional way. Whether it’s a luxury cruise, a guided journey through Europe, or an extended stay in destinations like Italy or Spain, I focus on crafting travel experiences that feel enriching, well-paced, and seamlessly planned.
With specialized knowledge in destinations such as Hawaii, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and U.S. National Parks, along with experience planning Disney Cruise Line vacations, I’m able to tailor each itinerary with carefully curated recommendations and insider perspective.
What truly sets me apart is my firsthand experience and my commitment to making every trip personal and effortless. I take the time to understand what matters most to you, then manage every detail with care so you can simply relax and enjoy the experience.
Travel has given me so much, and I genuinely love helping others experience that same sense of connection, joy, and discovery. Whether you’re dreaming of a special family getaway, a once-in-a-lifetime journey, or a longer, more immersive adventure, I would be honored to help you create a travel experience that is not only memorable, but truly exceptional.
