I have been a travel advisor for almost two years. I decided to become an advisor because I love details and enjoy organizing every aspect of a trip. My goal is to help my clients have the best travel experience possible by taking care of the details so they can focus on enjoying their journey.

For much of my adult life, I avoided traveling because of my weight. If I couldn't drive there, I preferred not to go. While I did fly when necessary, it was rarely a pleasant experience. Because of that, I never want a client to feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed when traveling, and I do everything I can to make the planning process and the trip itself as seamless as possible.

When I moved to Tennessee in 2017, I began a life-changing weight-loss journey. I joined Weight Watchers, started going to the gym, and worked hard to improve my health. During that transformation, I met a doctor who encouraged me and told me that I was about to begin a new life because of the changes I had made. That statement inspired the name New Life Travel and represents the opportunities, confidence, and experiences that travel can bring.

Now for the fun part! I have taken 27 cruises, visited all seven continents, and experienced things I never imagined possible. Although I am terrified of heights, I climbed the 440-foot Sydney Harbour Bridge in Sydney, Australia, and traveled to Antarctica—an experience that truly changed my life.

There are still many places I hope to visit, and I love sharing my passion for travel with my husband, family, friends, and especially my grandchildren.
