Travel has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I had the unique opportunity to live in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Italy, and multiple states in the US. These were experiences that sparked a lifelong appreciation for different cultures, people, and the incredible ways travel broadens our perspective.

​

That passion only grew over the years. My family hosted exchange students from Europe and Asia, many of whom became lifelong friends. Staying connected with them and visiting their families abroad reinforced what I love most about travel—it creates meaningful connections and memories that last a lifetime.

Today, as a mom of 8, and Travel Advisor with Travelmation, I understand firsthand that every vacation represents more than just a trip. It's quality time together, celebrating milestones, making memories, and stepping away from the busyness of everyday life. Whether it's a Disney vacation, an ocean or river cruise, an all-inclusive resort, or a custom international itinerary, I love helping clients find the destination that fits their travel style and budget while taking the stress out of the planning process.

​

I am committed to continually expanding my knowledge through industry training and certifications. I am a Disney-trained Travel Advisor, Gold Certified with Virgin Voyages, AmaWaterways Certified, and certified with both Marriott and Wyndham Hotels, with additional destination and supplier certifications continually being added to better serve my clients.
