I was born and raised in the Sunshine State. I thought I wanted to be a scientist like my dad until I took a trip to Germany in high school. My parents bought me a camera for that trip and I fell in love with photography and travel. Less than a year later, I landed a career in photojournalism at a daily newspaper while also attending college. I met people from all over and got to travel to multiple destinations including Costa Rica, Ireland, Italy and Wales...to name a few.
I also met my husband on the job in Florida. We moved to Richmond, Virginia in 2008 where we got married and then in 2010 settled in Clarksville, TN. We both love travel. We visited places such as Peru, Alaska, Greece and Turkey. I love taking pictures of the picturesque parts of the world but equally enjoy planning for our trips.
In 2013, pure joy entered into our lives. Our daughter was born in April of that year. I became a stay at home mom after spending 14 years in the newspaper industry. I did photography on the side but missed having the extra income for our travels. But it didn't stop us from traveling. I was planning "on a budget" cruise before trying to have a second kid (Hannah, born in 2016). I told my husband I couldn't figure out where our travel agent found such great rates. That is when my husband said, "You should become a travel agent. You love travel, love planning, very budget conscience and you are good with people." That is when it clicked.
I did a lot of research and decided to learn about the travel business in 2015. I study the ins and outs of every destination I deal with and then apply my personal travel experiences to help make sure I provide the best memories for my clients. I especially love planning group travel because I love the challenges. I have been fortunate to be able to travel a lot and want to extend such memories for my clients.
All Inclusive
I have extensive experience with working with all kinds of budgets and needs of clients who wants to spend their time at an all inclusive. I have visited Mexico on multiple occasions - including Cabo, Cancun and the Riviera Maya. I have also spent an extensive amount of time in Costa Rica where I have stayed at all inclusive resorts as well as visited the interior of Costa Rica. Lastly I have extensive experience with Jamaica especially for couples.
