My love for travel started at a young age as both my parents worked for Trans World Airlines (TWA). We often took quick trips, flying via the "stand-by" benefit of their work, to visit Hawaii, Arizona, New Mexico, and Missouri.

Fast forward to my college years, where I enjoyed exploring and living in England for 3 months and while there, visited France, Spain, and Portugal. Over the course of my adulthood, I have held many different jobs before landing my career as a travel designer: public school teacher, project manager, personal assistant, and bookkeeper at a travel agency; where I quickly learned the trade and started assisting with travel planning. I realized that my passion and excitement for travel and my attention to detail would easily translate into becoming a travel advisor—my favorite role of all. Whether you are ready to travel now or in the future, I’m available to offer travel designing, custom event travel, and booking services. I have many years of both event and travel planning experience and I’m committed to completing your vision of the perfect event or dream vacation for you and/or your family!
