I have been in the Travel Industry since 2007. I started out working for a large agency and eventually became a manager. I have loved travel for as long as I can remember! I am fascinated with learning about other cultures and I am quite the foodie! I am currently residing in Pennsylvania but I have also lived in Louisiana and Las Vegas. I am a Hawaii expert! I have traveled extensively in the United States as well as Bermuda, The Bahamas, Dominican Republic, St. Lucia, Barbados, Mexico (over 20 times), Canada, Paris, London, Slovakia, Austria, Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic, Egypt, China, French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, and Moorea). I have sailed on the big cruise lines as well as river cruises. I am comfortable booking large groups, my largest group was for 250 people! It makes my day when I hear from a client that I sent up a trip of a lifetime for them. Contact me to make your travel dreams come true!
My travel industry career began in 1986 with a thriving neighborhood agency. I arranged trips and travel there until 2013, when the owner retired and closed the agency. Shortly thereafter I met Pattie Mitchell, owner of Travel Dreams. We discussed my goals and desire to continue working with travel. She invited me to join the Travel Dreams team and here I am.I am a certified SCUBA diver with extensive travel experience in Mexico and the Caribbean, providing me with firsthand knowledge of good places to visit for dive trips. I stayed and dove on Aruba, Bonaire, Bahamas, Cancun, Cozumel, Curacao, Dominican Republic(Punta Cana), Grand Cayman, Grenada, Jamaica, St. Croix, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, St. Marteen/Martin, St. Thomas, Tortola, Turks and /Caicos. My other travels and experience include Disneyland and World, cruising on many different lines to the Caribbean, Alaska, Panama Canal, the Mediterranean, and the Galapagos, and travel to Europe, Canada, South America, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and many of the “lower 48 states” from California to Maine and in between. I also have international experience with Europe and China. My goal for my clients is to fit the travel to the person and provide a fun and easy trip, no hassels.
Extensive U.S. travel, thanks to my traveling parents, started at very young age. I was bitten by the travel bug! I have visited 41 of the 50 United States, the other 9 are on my bucket list along with many other destinations! My passion lies with Disney whether it is Disneyland in CA, Walt Disney World in FL, touring with Adventures by Disney or 23 cruises later with Disney Cruise Line to Alaska, the Caribbean or the Panama Canal, I love to talk Disney travel!! I have been through many Disney programs such as the College of Knowledge and the Disney Earmarked training conferences so I can stay on top of new offerings for my clients. I strive to get my clients the biggest bang for their bucks!! Groups are also a favorite of mine, either land or sea are always welcomed work! I get so personally involved helping with my clients plans, from weddings to birthdays to family gatherings, it is very rewarding to make so many travel dreams happen! My travel agent career started out in 1994 just booking Disney, but over the last 20 years has evolved to a full service travel consultant and I love my Travel Dreams job!! Dream on.....
