Helping clients create wonderful memories, one Great Escape at a time!
I was bitten by the Travel bug at a young age. My family and I would take road trips every year visiting San Diego, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Reno and the Grand Canyon.
Plus regular trips to the local theme parks – Disneyland, Magic Mountain and Knott’s Berry Farm. These trips created wonderful memories that I still cherish to this day!
As a Mother to two sons, I have passed on my love of travel. I have been fortunate enough to take my children on many amazing vacations.
Traveling with my children and seeing the world through their eyes, made me realized what an amazing gift traveling really is.
Where I’ve been
I have visited 31 different U.S. states, 11 Caribbean islands and taken 14 cruises - including 4 Disney Cruises (my most recent sailing was aboard the Disney Wonder in March 2023).
My favorite U.S. vacation destination is Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. I have visited more than 20 times since 2001. My most recent trip was December 2022.
My favorite Caribbean destination is Jamaica. The island is absolutely beautiful!! The food is wonderful and the people are friendly.
Why I became a Travel Agent
After years of planning vacations for myself, my family and friends, I decided to become a Travel Agent.

I work with my clients through the entire vacation planning process. From the initial consultation until our feedback call after they return from vacation – I am with them every step of the way.
I want to help my clients plan fantastic vacations that will create memories that last a lifetime.
