I’m a travel advisor with a passion for supporting busy WOMEN who want to explore the world, but struggle to fit VACATION PLANNING into their packed schedules.

I've been traveling the world since being a kid in a military family…

My inspiration comes from across the country and the globe. As a Navy-brat, I was fortunate enough to live in and visit many places, both nationally and internationally, while growing up. I can’t thank my parents enough for the invaluable gift of these experiences and for passing on their love of travel to me. I continued to move and travel as a young adult for school, then later in support of global operations for work. And I'm actively passing on my wanderlust to my sons, as I continue to travel the world with them today.

Becoming a professional travel advisor gave me the opportunity to turn my love of travel, learning and new experiences into a career. The extensive professional travel training and resources that I've been able to take advantage of through my host company Fora Travel have allowed me to level up not only my own travel, but the vacation experiences of my clients as well.

The world is an amazing place, and it just waiting to be explored! All you need is a bit of curiosity to get you started. I can't wait to plan my next trip... Ready to plan yours?

GEOLOGIST

I have a masters degree in geology, and worked as a geologist in the energy industry for 10 years before leaving to be home with my young sons.

CLASSICALLY-TRAINED CHEF

I've loved cooking since I was a kid. I went to culinary school and later worked as a personal chef. Savoring local food and wines is always a must for me while traveling.

Why I Do What I Do

Traveling has always been a passion of mine, but like many of us juggling work and family, I have sometimes lacked the time to plan and take amazing trips. Over the years, I’ve had to adjust my approach to vacations to accommodate factors such as young children, school schedules, different interests / physical abilities in the travel party, etc. I also experiment with different types of trips, activities and accommodations.

Travel planning can be time consuming and stressful, but the more tools you have under your belt for exploring different options, the easier, more efficient and fun it can be. Now, I’m using that experience to support other women who want to explore the world, but just don't have enough time or energy to dedicate to travel planning.

WHEN YOU WORK WITH ME, I’LL HELP YOU:

Streamline your travel planning
Reduce vacation planning stress and FOMO (fear of missing out)
Feel more confident that your vacation money is being well spent
Enjoy amazing trips, personalized to your unique wants, needs and budget

And most importantly...

Get out there and explore the world and have fun doing it!
