About
With a foundation in pediatric Occupational Therapy (OT), I bring a unique skill set to analyzing, organizing and fulfilling your travel desires. Balancing the roles of a busy wife and mother of two, I intimately grasp vacation needs and specialize in creating personalized getaways and unforgettable experiences tailored specifically to your preferences.

I would describe my travel approach as "thoughtful." I thrive on meticulous planning and attention to detail, ensuring that every getaway — from quick escapes to extended adventures — is nothing less than extraordinary. Whether you're dreaming of Disney magic, a cherished family retreat or indulgent luxury, you can count on me to craft your dream vacation with care.
