After a long career as a Registered Nurse, I decided to join my husband in his travel business. I was used to servicing patients, dealing with all kinds of issues, and paying close attention to details, so I felt I would be great at planning vacations. I love to travel, so I decided it was time to climb aboard, and I have not looked back since!
As your trusted travel advisor, I am your personal concierge. I can save you time and money as I sort through the plethora of information available on the internet for you. I will create and find the right vacation for your needs and budget. I genuinely care about each one of my clients. I treat them like a family member, and help them every step of the way, from the planning stage to during and after the trip. Trust is so important to me in my client interactions, and if I don’t think something is right for them, I will not push that option on them. I pride myself on my ability to talk to complete strangers and make them visualize the destination they are dreaming about.
When it comes to my clients, I am passionate about helping retired couples who want to get out there and visit their bucket list destinations. Just recently, I booked a trip to Japan for a retired couple, a 13-day cruise with pre-land trip. This was a last-minute trip as they needed to see a family member that wasn’t doing well. I was able to help them coordinate flights, plus cruise and land tours within a few days. This was a big bucket list trip type trip, and I am so happy for the opportunity to take all the stress off of them.
There is really no destination that I will not research and help a client with. I also enjoy helping book trips for large, multi-generation families as they celebrate special occasions, whether it’s on a family cruise or at an all-inclusive resort. I especially love booking luxury travel, and I am knowledgeable in all types of cruising and river cruising.
My years of training and knowledge and relationships with many suppliers help me coordinate the perfect trip for you and your fellow travelers. Continuing my education is an important way I strive to better serve my clients. I have completed all the training for Royal Caribbean, Princess, Norwegian, Ama-Waterways, Avalon, Disney cruise and Disneyworld & Land, Universal specialist. I am also proud to be an Accredited Cruise Counselor (ACC) and a member of ASTA.
I am available to clients 24/7 for any issues that may arise. Once, I got a call at 3:00am from my client in Anchorage, Alaska telling me her mother passed, and that she needed to get to Ireland. I stayed up that night calling airlines and making arrangements to get her to Ireland as soon as possible. It was so rewarding to know I helped her through a difficult time, and that I could be there for her right away when she needed me.
When I’m not traveling or planning amazing trips for my clients. I spend a lot of time caring and feeding for feral cats in my community and in other communities, and increasing awareness of spay and neuter services. I love animals, and I spoil my dog Bella and my 2 indoor cats Callie & Lela. I also enjoy cooking, gardening, attending my church, and raising butterflies.
