My love of travel began at age 17 with my first cruise aboard SS Dolphin, followed by a second cruise at 18, and my first European adventure at age 19. Since those early years my passion for travel has continued to flourish, and in addition to my personal travels I have spent 20+ years working in travel and hospitality, including seven years on board cruise ships for Celebrity Cruises, three years in Arizona resorts, and nine years in management for Flexjet, one of the leading fractional aviation companies.
With my passion for travel and customer service well established, in 2014 I began a new chapter as a Franchise Owner and Travel Advisor with Cruise Planners an American Express Travel Representative. Today, that passion for travel, which began as a teenager, allows me to create experiences and memories for my clients, which will last a lifetime. Whether you are looking for a cruise, an all-inclusive vacation, an escorted group tour, or an independent travel package, contact me to plan your next travel adventure!
