Born and raised on Long Island, New York, I moved my family to Pennsylvania in 2003. I spent over a decade planning some fabulous family vacations, and I learned how to research different destinations. After some very memorable trips, my kids would say “hey, you would make a great Travel Advisor!” So, when the opportunity arose in 2022 to become a Travel Advisor with Dream Vacations, I jumped on it. I loved it so much that I became a Franchise Owner in 2023. I still love every minute of planning, and especially enjoy hearing feedback from my clients after they travel.
Being a mother myself, I love helping families travel. Whether it’s to an all-inclusive resort, a cruise, or even Alaska. I also enjoy helping solo travelers, and I’m proud to be a LGBTQ+ friendly Travel Advisor. As your trusted Advisor, I pride myself on responding quickly to questions and concerns. I am your advocate before, during and after your trip. Our agency is the largest in the nation and has strong relationships with our suppliers. This allows me to always look out for my client's best interests, listen to their wants and needs, and always provide exceptional personal service.
When it comes to destinations, I love planning trips to Alaska and the Caribbean. I’ve been to Alaska both by cruise and by land, and I hope to go back there soon. Alaska is such a vast state with so much to do and has breathtaking scenery, whether you’re on a cruise or on land. I am constantly learning about Alaska and finding different tours and adventures to offer my clients. I’ve also been to the Caribbean and Mexico numerous times and love the “chill” vibe they have to offer. I have cruised ten different times on a variety of cruise lines, and I attend every ship inspection and training I can to learn as much as possible. I love to travel to Mexico and have built relationships with a few different suppliers there that I know offer superior service.
In addition to my travel experience, I am continually learning about our supplier partners, and I am proud to have certifications in: Princess Cruise Lines, MSC Cruise Lines, Virgin Voyages, NCL, RCL, Carnival Cruise Lines, Alaska Expert Gold Status from Alaska Travel Industry Association, CLIA Member, Marriott Hotels, IHG Hotels, RIU All Inclusive, Sandals and Beaches, Marriott Hotels, IHG and Sandos Hotels.
One of my favorite client stories was one of my very first clients who wanted an Alaskan Cruise for her and her close family. After researching and providing different options to her for both cruise and cruise tours, she came to the realization that she didn’t want a cruise at all, but rather a land tour. She and her family were more interested in spending time on land and visiting the various areas of Alaska. I booked a guided land tour for her with an add-on of doing a fishing excursion at the end. It was her adult daughter’s dream to fish in Alaska for Salmon!
When I’m not traveling or helping my clients plan their dream vacations, I love to explore my local area and find new places to visit. If you’re ready to start planning your next memorable vacation, contact me today and let’s plan a trip you’ll never forget!
