About Me

Travel is personal for me. My love for it grew from taking my mom on trips and learning that the best vacations aren’t always “perfect”—they’re the ones where you slow down, soak it in, and turn moments into memories. I also live with chronic illnesses, so I understand the extra planning it can take to travel comfortably: pacing, accessibility, mobility support, and choosing excursions that fit your needs. In February 2025, I took my mom on a hospice cruise to the Bahamas aboard the MSC Meraviglia. With wheelchairs, oxygen concentrators, and medical equipment, we still made every moment count—especially at Ocean Cay, MSC’s private island, sunbathing by our cabana. We lost Mom in April 2026, and I’m blessed with those memories—and honored to help others travel smoothly, too.

Why I love being a travel agent

I love being a travel advisor because I get to turn someone’s “I wish we could…” into a real, doable plan. Travel should feel exciting—not overwhelming—so I love taking the stress off your plate, handling the details, and making sure every piece fits your needs, budget, and comfort level. It’s also personal for me. I know firsthand that chronic illness can change how you travel, what you can handle in a day, and what support you might need. I love being the person who thinks ahead—accessibility, pacing, mobility options, and the right excursions—so you can focus on enjoying the trip instead of managing problems. Most of all, I love helping people make memories now. Whether it’s a cruise, a bucket-list getaway, or a simple reset weekend, I’m here for the “let’s make it happen” moments—and I’m honored to be part of them.

Favorite destinations

My favorite destinations include Ocean Cay, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Puerto Plata (Dominican Republic), and Labadee, Haiti—each one made even more special because I got to experience them alongside my mom.

Favorite vacation memory

My favorite vacation memory is in Puerto Plata—watching the monkeys up close and seeing the pure joy on my mom’s face when one hopped right onto her head. For a split second we were both shocked, and then we just laughed until we cried. It was one of those perfect, unexpected moments that you can’t plan for—and I’ll carry it with me forever.
