Disney & Cruise Travel Specialist

Travel has never been just a hobby for me—it has been a lifelong journey that began in the 1990s during my service in the United States Navy. While stationed in Yokosuka, Japan, I had the incredible opportunity to immerse myself in a culture so different from my own. From hiking Mount Fuji to exploring centuries-old temples, I quickly discovered that travel is not just about seeing new places—it is about truly experiencing them.

Over the years, I have been fortunate to visit destinations across the globe, including the Philippines, Korea, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, and parts of the Middle East. Each experience deepened my appreciation for different cultures and strengthened my passion for helping others explore the world in meaningful ways.

After the military, I pursued this passion by attending the World Leisure Travel Academy in Washington and began my career in the travel industry with Holland America Line in Seattle. I later continued my journey with AAA Signatours, assisting clients in planning memorable vacations before taking time away from the industry to work in law enforcement.

As life evolved and my family began creating our own travel memories, I found myself drawn back to the industry I have always loved.

Now, as a Family Travel Advisor, I specialize in cruises and Disney vacations, with a deeply personal understanding of what travel can mean for families, especially those with unique needs. As a parent of two children with autism, I recognize that the right travel experience requires thoughtful planning, patience, and care. Through my family’s journey, including navigating one of my son’s battles with a rare disease, we came to realize how important it is to experience travel as a family not just for medical reasons, but for connection, joy, and creating meaningful memories together.

For me, this work is so much more than booking trips. It is about creating experiences, memories, and moments that last a lifetime. Every traveler is different, and I take pride in matching each client with a vacation that fits not only their interests, but also their comfort, needs, and personality.

When you are ready to start planning your family’s next adventure, I would be honored to guide you every step of the way and help create a travel experience that feels seamless, thoughtful, and truly unforgettable.
