About Me ✌️

I believe in the importance of getting away—whether it’s visiting a Disney park or relaxing on a beach. Taking time to disconnect and be together as a family is invaluable. My family and I visit Disney World at least once a year to soak up the magic—and let’s be honest, I’m also there for the snacks. From spring rolls to character meals, I’m all about the food at every destination! 🏰🌴

Why I love being a Travel Agent?

Before I became a travel agent, I always loved helping families plan their dream vacations. I’m specifically passionate about planning trips that create unforgettable memories while also being mindful of both time and finances. I began to share these tips & my love for all things Disney as one of the hosts on the Carousel of Conversations podcast. Now as a travel agent, my goal is to make every vacation feel magical & worth every moment, whether it’s at Disney or any destination you dream of!

How I take care of my guests?

I’m dedicated to making sure every trip is unforgettable, stress-free, and full of value. I help my guests maximize their hard-earned money by planning trips that meet their unique needs and create lasting memories. My goal is to handle all the details, so they can focus on enjoying their time together, whether it’s a magical Disney vacation or a relaxing getaway. With me as your travel advisor, you can expect seamless planning and an experience made just for you!

My Top Travel Secret 🤫

Prepare your kids before traveling to help them feel comfortable. If you’re going to Disney World, show them ride videos like Haunted Mansion and laugh at the spooky parts. If they’re nervous at character meet and greets, visit a local theme park first. If they get tired, take a break in the room—it’s better than pushing through and having the next few days be tough. Listen to them, and it’ll make your trip more enjoyable for everyone!

My favorite Travel Destinations

Disney World - Our family identifies as Disney fanatics, and we will usually always pick it as our vacation of choice. Why travel the world when you can see it at EPCOT? - My family's favorite ride at Disney is the Guardian's Cosmic Rewind, especially when "September" is the song choice!- Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is our favorite Disney after-hours event! I don't think I will be able to ride Space Mountain the same way anymore!
Emerald Isle, NC – This is our happy place! It’s quiet, family-friendly, and perfect for kicking back, playing in the sand, and watching the most amazing sunsets.
Pigeon Forge, TN – We love the Smokies, especially in the fall! When we are looking for a perfect cozy getaway, the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area is our go to choice.

My favorite Family Vacation Memory

One of my favorite memories was when my daughter wanted to ride The Magic Carpets of Aladdin in Adventureland. She was all dressed up in her Jasmine outfit, and as luck would have it, Jasmine and Aladdin walked by. Jasmine came right over, took her hand, and asked if she’d help them find Abu. They walked through Adventureland together, hand-in-hand, chatting and telling her how beautiful she looked. At the end, they stopped to take pictures. It was such a simple moment, but it made the day completely magical for her—and for us.
