As a travel agent for more than 35 years, I specialize in vacations and honeymoons to all-inclusive resorts. Choosing an immersive travel experience can be overwhelming, so I help travelers from all walks of life find the perfect all-inclusive package to fit their needs.

From my stomping grounds in Pennsylvania, I ventured “across the pond” to England with my mother as an early high-school graduation gift – and I guess that sealed the deal. I’ve spent decades now working in the travel industry and hold numerous hotel certifications for all-inclusive properties, including AM Resorts, Iberostar, RIU and Sandals. I stay informed and knowledgeable by attending webinars focusing on all-inclusive resorts and ever-changing travel protocols.

The term “expert” can be misleading because nobody knows everything. However, dedication and personal experience inform my approach to creating memorable journeys for others. Mexico is a favorite destination, and I travel to Cancun and Riviera Maya every year. I’m also a frequent visitor to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, which features a wide array of all-inclusive resorts. Staying at various properties gives insight into what’s available for families, couples, groups and solo explorers.

I try to put myself in another traveler’s shoes, keeping cost considerations and individual personalities in mind. Most clients want the most “bang for their buck,” so I do meticulous research to find choices for each travel budget. I check emails even on weekends, especially when I have clients traveling. This ensures my availability for solving issues that may arise.

For example, I once had clients traveling to a Sandals resort in Jamaica for their honeymoon during the Covid-19 pandemic. I assisted by phone at midnight when their travel authorizations were on hold due to Covid testing problems.

Travel is my passion, but when at home in Pennsylvania, I enjoy reading and shopping with family and friends.
