As a travel agent with Travelmation, I craft unforgettable journeys with the same passion I've always brought to exploring the world. Born in Los Angeles to a Navy Pilot dad and a Flight Attendant mom, I grew up in Georgia, steeped in a love for adventure. After my dad retired, he traded his pilot wings for a riverboat captain's hat at Disney World, fueling my knack for creating magical experiences.
For 15 years, I thrived in the medical field, mastering everything from front desk and billing to triage, medical assisting, and physician recruiting. When COVID hit, I craved change and launched my business, Rusted Charm, diving into furniture refinishing, custom kitchen cabinets, interior decorating, and Christmas tree design. My mom unfortunately became terminally ill and I closed my business to care for her. After her passing, I sought new purpose. My husband, James, saw my talent for planning our family's elaborate trips and suggested travel. A call to my friend Vinny Saponara led me to Travelmation--my true home.
Now, as a proud mom to two kids, two bonus kids, and a daughter-in-law, "Sassy" to our sweet granddaughter, and loving wife to James, I pour my heart into designing trips that spark joy! With my family and furbabies cheering me on, I can finally turn client's travel dreams into reality.
