I have earned many specialist certificates throughout my career such as luxury travel specialist, small cruise specialist, along with many cruise and destination specialties. If I am not creating new memories for my clients at my desk, you will find me roaming the world gaining knowledge to share with you.
My Specialties
While I can help build any type of vacation you can dream up, I do have a few areas I specialize in.
As a member of Virtuoso's Family+Celebration community, I have the experience and training to be able to help you plan the ideal multi-generation vacation with friends and family.
In addition to being an overall cruise specialist, including small ship, large ship, and yachts, I'm proud to be a Virtuoso Voyages host for my one of my top river cruise partners, AmaWaterways.
I specialize in crafting custom vacation itineraries for each of my clients based on their specific wishes, comforts, and needs. Let me help you build your personalized vacations!

My Favorite Places
These are my absolute favorite places on the planet right now. Hopefully you'll find some inspiration for your own travels.
Costa Rica
With its lush rainforests, misty cloud forests, and stunning beaches, Costa Rica offers a wealth of outdoor adventures, like hiking volcanic peaks in Arenal or zip-lining through the canopy in Monteverde.
Alaska
As your cruise ship navigates through the Inside Passage in Alaska, you may spot eagles soaring above and sea otters playing in the icy waters. Explore picturesque towns with rich history like Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan,
Japan
From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the serene temples of Kyoto, Japan offers so much history and culture. You can marvel at the iconic Mount Fuji, taste amazing street food in Osaka, or relax in the hot springs of Hakone.
South Africa
Whether you're visiting Cape Town and its iconic Table Mountain or going on Safari to explore world-renowned game reserves like Kruger National Park to see the Big Five roam freely, South Africa offers a captivating destination for everyone.
