I've been in the travel business for 33 years, starting my journey at just 19 years old. My first big adventure was leading a small group tour to Southern Ireland at 20 years old. Though I had dreamed of seeing the world since childhood, it wasn’t until I started traveling with my children at a young age that I truly fell in love with experiencing new destinations and cultures.
I take a highly personalized approach to travel planning. While I communicate with clients via email and text, I prefer picking up the phone—real conversations give me a better sense of each traveler’s personality and preferences. This helps me match them with the perfect hotels, resorts, destinations, and experiences, ensuring every trip is a dream come true.
For me, success is hearing from clients during or after their trip that their experience exceeded expectations. Referrals are another sign of success—they mean my travelers were happy enough to recommend me to others, which is the highest compliment.
When I’m not planning unforgettable vacations, I enjoy gardening, walking my dogs, hiking in the mountains and nearby National Parks, and spending time with my two adult children, my partner, and my extended family.
A unique fact about me: During the summer months, I volunteer with local organizations to survey Western Toads living in the mountains above 5,000 feet. These toads are highly susceptible to a virus threatening their species, and our work helps track where and how they’re thriving. Observing their life cycle—from eggs to tadpoles to toadlets to adults—is fascinating, and I’m passionate about contributing to their conservation.
