While attending Purdue University, I completed my student teaching in Exeter, England.  While I was there, I explored all over Europe.  After coming home to the states, my perspective on life had changed greatly, and I was bit by the travel bug.

​

After teaching for 23 years, I decided to retire early and focus more on my family.  This has led me to join Travelmation LLC and help others plan their adventures. I am excited to help singles, couples, and families discover the joy that travel brings.

 

My favorite vacations are all-inclusives, cruising, and theme parks. Since joining Travelmation, I have loved visiting Couples, Sandals, Iberostar, and Playa Resorts for an all-inclusive experience. When it comes to cruising I have personal experience with Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, and MSC cruises. If you love Disney, Universal, or Dollywood- I am your girl.  I can help you find your perfect resort, ticket package, and even help with dining!

 

 

My favorite place to travel is Alaska. I was awarded a Lilly Endowment grant to study the Iditarod Sled Dog Race in 2021.  I was able to travel to Anchorage, Seward, Whittier, Denali, and Fairbanks to experience Alaska. I have several contacts there and know the perfect local spots that you don't want to miss!

 

I live in McCordsville, Indiana, with my husband, 3 of our 6 children, and 4 goofy dogs.  We also have 3 married, adult children and three grandkids. When not planning vacations, I love helping my husband with our family business, walking my dogs, listening to podcasts, and riding our Harley. I would be honored to help you get out there on your next adventure!
