With more than 30 years of experience as a professional travel advisor and now as Branch Manager of Maritime Travel in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada I have a commitment to exceptional client service on every journey I design.

As a certified 100% Pure New Zealand Advanced Specialist, and having lived in New Zealand, I can provide insider knowledge on authentic experiences...from luxury lodges and scenic rail journeys to immersive Maori cultural encounters and breathtaking natural wonders.

Beyond New Zealand, I specialize in South Pacific travel including Australia, the Cook Islands, Fiji, and French Polynesia, carefully matching each client to the destination, island, or resort that best suits their travel style.

I also have a genuine love for planning sun-filled escapes and cruise vacations. Whether it’s a romantic honeymoon, a couples’ getaway, or a multigenerational family holiday to at an all-inclusive resort or Disneyland/Walt Disneyworld, I design seamless vacations that balance relaxation and adventure while creating wonderful memories. My personal experience with ocean and river cruising allows me to confidently guide clients toward the right cruise line, itinerary, and onboard experience to suit their preferences, as well as pre or post cruise extensions or tours in Europe or Great Britain.

As a Virtuoso advisor, I combine exclusive partnerships and elevated amenities with decades of hands-on expertise. My clients value not only the added benefits and VIP experiences, but also the reassurance of working with a trusted professional who has explored many of the destinations she recommends.

Travel should be inspiring, effortless, and deeply memorable, I look forward to designing your next exceptional journey.
