I am a wife, step-mom,former special education teacher, Disney adult, coaster enthusiast, and travel consultant all rolled into one passionate planner who truly understands families.

Like many great stories, mine began in Northeastern Ohio, where long winters fueled big dreams of warmer places and exciting adventures. It also meant I grew up in the America's Roller Coast!

Growing up so close to two amazing parks: Cedar Point, Sea World Ohio and Geauga Lake sparked my lifelong love for amusement parks. Roller coasters, themed environments, and shared family excitement became a core part of my travel passion. After the pandemic, I rediscovered that joy and began seeking out new parks to experience with my own little family. What started as nostalgic road trips has turned into a full-fledged adventure—I’ve now ridden 139 roller coasters across 22 amusement parks, and we’re just getting started.

Of course, my story would not be complete without Disney. From worn-out VHS tapes of classic movies to dreaming about visiting the Magic Kingdom, Disney has always held a special place in my heart. As an elementary special education teacher, I see firsthand how powerful Disney stories and characters can be for children of all abilities. That connection deepened my appreciation for both the classics and the newer films my students adore. In January 2019, my love for Disney became official when my now husband proposed in front of Cinderella’s Castle. Since then, Disney has become part of our family story. We celebrate many of our major life milestones in Disney Parks.

While visiting Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida it was a natural progression to make our way over to some of the other amazing parks in the area. Of course my nostalgia from Sea World Ohio made visits to Sea World Orlando a must. Not only do they have amazing animal experiences but their coaster line up is also top notch! I also love that they have one of the most inclusive programs for those on the autism spectrum and who may have other special needs.

Then there is Univeral Studios Florida! From exciting coasters, amazing lands and fantastic resorts I fell in love with this brand instantly! Islands Of Adventure not only has one of the best roller coasters ever but amazing food and something for every person in your family. The addition of Epic Universe as the newest and most immersive Theme Park in Orlando makes Universal a must do for all families who love theme parks.

My professional background in special education is what truly sets me apart as a travel consultant. Earning a degree in special education and working as a teacher has given me exceptional skills in organization, flexibility, detailed planning, and individualized support. I understand that families are not one-size-fits-all—especially when traveling with children who may need extra structure, sensory-friendly options, or carefully paced itineraries. I am experienced in thinking through logistics, anticipating challenges, creating clear plans, and adapting when plans change—all essential skills for stress-free family travel.It was only natural that friends and family began turning to me for advice on hotels, theme parks, and itineraries. Planning imaginary trips became my favorite way to relax, and before long my husband jokingly called me his “personal travel agent.” That joke turned into a calling. After researching the industry and finding the right fit, I joined Off To Neverland Travel as a Magic Maker.

While I may be new to the travel industry, I am not new to planning meaningful, memory-making trips for families. Whether you’re dreaming of a magical theme park vacation, a carefully budgeted road trip, or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, I would love to help you plan a trip that fits your family’s unique needs. My goal is simple: to take the stress out of planning, so you can focus on what matters most—making memories together.
